how builders combat weather while building a house?

Question

Been bugging me for a while, how do they avoid things like water damage while there’s no roofing or protective wrap?

EDIT: I have been enlightened, thanks everyone! From my understanding the TLDR is; They don’t put the damageable stuff in until the shell is good

Once the roof, doors and windows are on the house is considered to be “in the dry” and you can start bringing in things that can’t get wet. Things like sheetrock, paint, electrical, cabinets, appliances, etc….

The concrete slab doesn’t mind a little rain and once the walls start going up, it only takes a few days to get the roof, windows and doors on.
