Pre-stressed concrete construction panels are normal in commercial construction, tilt-ups are quick and easy. Details on foundations and waterproofing are published and available from building departments. Plenty of information online, on YouTube, or move to Florida and watch the next strip mall go up. :)

Since this construction is occurring in another fantasy world, are we to assume the environmental variables are the same as that of earth? A lot of factors affect the design of building structures including loading (weight - is the gravitational constant the same?) Earthquake resistance, wind loadings, rain/snow loadings, soil bearing pressure, etc... and a departure from normal assumptions and code requirements could have a drastic effect on the means and materials of construction.

Yes, physics and weather are both Earth like. The climate where this culture lives is warm to hot and dry but not desert dry.
