Very slowly. Start small and then over many thousands of years go bigger and bigger as you learn what works and doesn’t work. 

Also other advancements like in tools, and increased trade means you get exposed to knowledge of other civilisations. And enables you to do more advanced stuff like being able to carve rocks and wood with better precision, transport stuff more easily, build stuff like cranes to help building bigger structures.
