There are so many examples I could use with this. The first obstruction I’m considering is rain. Some places receive rain all the time: such as Hawaii, Washington, Florida, etc. They have buildings like any other place, when these buildings are being constructed so open and exposed for months to constant rain and humidity, how does it not rot the wood, guarantee mold, stench, etc?
Another example is high amounts of dust and debris. I lived in the high planes of New Mexico for period of time and dust storms were very common. How do buildings in their construction process not become ridden with negative consequences from dust and wind?
I could keep going but I’ll stop here. You get the point.

Rain doesn’t matter as long as you don’t seal the moisture in.
So if you’re building a house where the roof isn’t finished and it rains, you just make sure to wait a day or two before you actually seal up the house to give all that water plenty of time to evaporate.
And if you have periods of constant rain? Well. You simply don’t build during those times. Or alternatively you rush building the roof to give everything below it some protection.
But again, the main point is that something Getting wet is not a big deal. It when something is STAYING wet that it is a big deal. As that lets mold grow and things rot.
As for dust and debris, well, that’s why shop-vacs exist. Those big powerful vacuums you see on construction sites, you pay someone to go around and vacuum up all the dust.
Hell, you don’t even need a dusty place like New Mexican to have dust problems. Everything in construction can make dust. Wood, concrete, dry wall, even paint. It’ll ALL make a mess that has to get cleaned up anyways.
What would a bit of dust and wind do to the building? Make a mess? You just sweep up the dust when you’re done.
Water can be a big issue, but buildings are typically wrapped early on, and that wrap keeps water out. A bit of water won’t ruin wood, though, and only if the exposure is prolonged do you see issues.
