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

You don’t. You can let it rain on the framing material it’s fine. Stuff like subfloor has like a 6 month weather warranty. And most of the time the home gets roofed and sheathed pretty quickly after the roof trusses are up
