Negatory. A type path is not an actual object, so calling stat() with it won't show the icon and name like you seem to be trying to do.

You can however make a temporary obj for every buildable item, and keep track of those in a list.
obj/buildicon
  var/path

  New(dummyloc, typepath)
    path = typepath
    name = "[path]"
    // strip out slashes; change "/obj/door/wood" to just "wood"
    var/index = findtext(name, "/")
    while(index)
      name = copytext(name, index+1)
      index = findtext(name, "/")
    overlays += typepath

  Click()
    usr.buildtype = path

var/list/buildcache = new

proc/GetBuildIcon(typepath)
  . = buildcache[typepath]
  if(!.)
    . = new /obj/buildicon(null, typepath)
    buildicon[typepath] = .
