We review the model building aspects for keV sterile neutrinos as Dark Matter (DM) candidates. After giving a brief discussion of some cosmological, astrophysical and experimental aspects, we first discuss the currently known neutrino data and observables. We then explain the purpose and goal of neutrino model building, and review some generic methods used. Afterwards certain aspects specific for keV neutrino model building are discussed, before reviewing the bulk of models in the literature. We try to keep the discussion on a pedagogical level, while nevertheless pointing out some finer details where necessary and useful. Ideally, this review should enable a grad student or an interested colleague from cosmology or astrophysics with some prior experience to start working on the field.
