Of course it's part of it, but you'd still need to learn how to cut and measure beams, assemble a frame, build a durable, insulated watertight roof that won't blow off in a gale, put up stud walls, route services (OK, a GR just needs electric unless it's a palace), apply cladding, insulate it, put down a floor, but the windows in... it's endless. And it has to last decades so don't make a minor mistake that means the whole thing is fucked in seven years of UK weather ok?
No planning, well, kind of. They are generally PD but there's loads of shit you can pull to build something far larger than what PD should allow (which is fuck all) but you need the expertise to pull that off too.
