1. You can pay people to build them, as was done in the Great Depression.
2. UBI does not exclude the ability of people to work for money. If workers wanted to earn money on top of the UBI, presumably they would do so.
3. The number of workers required to build housing is also a tiny fraction of the number of people that can be housed in said building.
4. Furthermore, the question here is between UBI and giving "basic resources." So presumably if the government is going to spend money on UBI, they could spend that money on just directly building stuff. (Which makes more sense to me.)
