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?

Many construction operations can be undertaken in the rain and you just work through it and aim to get the building watertight as soon as possible.
Where there are sensitive things like concrete or mortars that don’t like getting too wet (or if you’re opening up an existing building) you can either put a temporary roof over the top or in really wet environments you can change the concrete recipe so it can cure properly even in heavy rain (there is also concrete that can cure underwater!)
It is also possible to manufacture large parts off-site and just drop them into place, which limits your time in bad weather.
And lastly, lots of hot tea for the builders!
