The kanji 構 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The semantic component is 木 (ki), meaning "tree" or "wood," suggesting materials used for building. The phonetic component is 冓 (kō), which originally represented a building or framework. Therefore, the character combines the idea of using wood or materials (related to construction) with a phonetic element that provides the sound. This combination illustrates the meaning of "to construct" or "to build."
