In not a construction worker or have much of a clue how it works but I was wondering about rainy areas and constructions.
I assume that some party of the construction have to be done on a dry environment or to let thinga dry before continuing to other parts.
Some areas have a lot of rain (e.g the British island) so how does it work? Does having a rain for a week is a problem to build a house?

The whole point of construction in a wet climate is to make a dry spot where they don’t occur regularly. Foundations are make of concrete, or concrete blocks, because that material is water resistant. Concrete cures under water as well as it does in dry conditions (actually, it cures stronger). Then you put up walls and a roof. The concept is to have a single layer of materials (two at most) until the house is “weathertight”. Then you use a heater inside to dmy out the wall studs and roof rafters. Then you finish the inside.
