How would I put usr.bldexp +=5 into this code

if(choice == "Brick Wall Lv3")
if(usr.bldlevel >=3) { new /turf/BrickWall(usr.loc) }
else
usr << "You need to be level 3"

if(choice == "Brick Wall Lv3")
if(usr.bidlvl >= 3)
usr.bidexp += 5
sleep(1)
new/turf/BrickWall(usr.loc)
else
return

What the heck is the sleep() for?

It's just as simple as adding the line, as ShadowSiientx pointed out. However, I'm a bit worried at the setup for this--it looks like you're using a gigantic bunch of if() statements when a list--or multiple lists--would serve you better.

For example, suppose you had a couple of lists like this:
var/list/buildtypes=list("Brick Wall"=/turf/Brickwall,
                         "Floor"=/turf/floor)
var/list/buildlevel=list(/turf/BrickWall=3,
                         /turf/floor=1)

mob
  verb/Build()
    var/list/L=buildtypes.Copy()
    // cull items you can't build out of the list
    // you can use a similar technique to restrict items by cost
    for(var/item in L)
      if(buildlevel[L[item]]<usr.level) L-=item
    var/choice=input("What do you want to build?","Build") as null|anything in L
    if(!choice) return
    usr.bldexp+=5
    choice=L[choice]   // get the type path that goes with the name
    new choice(usr.loc)

I bet you could cut out a lot of redundant code that way.
There are even better ways to do this; a custom datum, for example, might be the ticket:
buildinfo
  var/name      // shown to usr
  var/buildtype // type path
  var/level=0   // minimum level needed to build
  var/exp=1     // experience from building

  New(nm,bt,lvl=0,xp=1)
    name=nm
    buildtype=bt
    level=lvl
    exp=xp

Basically then you create a global list of these datums, and you'd build your choice list like this:
  var/list/L=list()
  var/buildinfo/B
  for(B buildtypes)  // now this is a list of datums
    if(B.level>=usr.level) L[B.name]=B
    var/choice=input("What do you want to build?","Build") as null|anything in L
    if(!choice) return
    B=L[choice]
    usr.bldexp+=B.exp
    new B.buildtype(usr.loc)

I have no idea. =P
