1 Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw-- 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
Zechariah 4:6 Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts. 7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of 'Grace, grace to it!'"
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. 10 For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. "These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range through the whole earth."
Psalms 127:1 A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

I probably could, but I'm not sure what "builing" means. Do you mean building? If so, building what? Buildings? Relationships? Interpersonal communicating? Prayer towers?
This sounds like an interesting questions, but I'm not sure what you're asking.

The only foundation laid to "build" on is Jesus-->Christ.
Matthew 1:1...1Corinthians 3:10,11...Revelation 22:21.
Eternal salvation is notably "THROUGH Jesus-->Christ".
Jesus: made under the law: division and not peace.
Christ: is the end of the law: peace and not dividead
Ye are not under the law (Jesus), but under grace(Christ)
To "wit", that God was in "Christ" reconciling "the world".
CJ? All who will live godly in CJ "shall suffer". Ouch.
JC? The grace of our Lord JC with you all. Amen.

Precious one - please hit that little pencil icon and let us know what letter you left out of your word.
Were you asking about building - as in building a house?
I'll leave you with these... just in case...
1st Kings 5:5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, "Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for My name."
Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Haggai 1:8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
Job 42:2 I know, LORD, that you are all-powerful; that you can do everything you want.
Jeremiah 32:27 "I am the LORD, the God of all people. Nothing is too difficult for me.
Zechariah 8:6 "This may seem impossible to those of the nation who are now left, but it's not impossible for me.
Luke 1:37 "For there is nothing that God cannot do."
Joshua 1:9 I've commanded you to be strong and brave. Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! I am the LORD your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go.
2nd Chronicles 16:9 The LORD is constantly watching everyone, and he gives strength to those who faithfully obey Him...
Psalm 27:2-6 Brutal people may attack and try to kill me, but they will stumble. Fierce enemies may attack, but they will fall.
Armies may surround me, but I won't be afraid; war may break out, but I will trust you.
I ask only one thing, LORD: Let me live in your house every day of my life to see how wonderful you are and to pray in your temple.
In times of trouble, you will protect me. You will hide me in your tent and keep me safe on top of a mighty rock.
You will let me defeat all of my enemies. Then I will celebrate, as I enter your tent with animal sacrifices and songs of praise.
Peace.

If you mean 'building' read the story of the two house builders.
Service is its own reward.

1 Corinthians 3:9-15
It speaks of building properly on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
Paul uses metaphors to represent good & bad works
(Gold, silver, precious stones.....wood, hay & straw)
Those verses end by telling us that salvation cannot be lost.....and that our ultimate reward is heaven.
But the bad works will be burned up.
