The question is too vague. The start of any building process is planning. You need to meet with the owners, architects, engineers and trades. Design, materials, site layout ,schedule and costs & contracts are reviewed. You'll then submit some of that information to local / state municipalities for permitting / zoning review and (depending on cost) file with the clerk of the court a Notice of commencement (This doc is to help establish your trades / vendors mechanical lien rights). If further information is requested from the building authorities, you'll provide and await your "on site" set of prints and permit. Next would be a pre-construction meeting to finalize all selections made prior to start and then the site prep can begin. Depending on the size of the project some underground work will need to be done and then you can focus on grading / drainage and then proceed to the foundation. After the foundation (types include post / pier , monolithic or post tension slabs. Your walls can be as simple as stick frame or more elaborate types such as brick / masonry , "tilt-up" or steel beam. Trusses or steel beams should be set for the roof or additional floors with wood or metal decking placed. Exterior waterproofing will need to be installed (roof and walls) and then windows and doors can be placed (Some of this construction logic will differ depending on the type of structure being built, so I'm sticking to a pretty basic formula). Exterior finishes can be installed as well as the permanent roofing. You can now turn to the interior with MEPS (mechanical, electrical, Plumbing & structure) HAVC should install duct work, electricians with wiring and plumbers to run pipe. Additional specialty installations may be needed depending on use or need. Inspections with the local / state authorities will happen during this process and vary based on location and type of building. Drywall can be placed and interior finishes completed. Painting and final grading of the exterior will get you closer to the completion. Driveways /parking areas, sidewalks & landscaping will complete your project. Signage type & location will vary .
