Your answer depends on the type of structure being built.
Research station buildings are built using common building materials, all of which are imported to the continent. Wood, glass and metal are most common.
In an emergency, a person can carve ice bricks from the ice sheet and fashion an igloo.

On the continent, some temporary workers and scientists prefer to wear at least one layer of wicking fabric, so as to pull body moisture away from the skin, where it can freeze away from the body. These items are considered personal items and are not issued by governments as part of the collection of extreme cold weather gear supplied to every person who deploys to the continent.
Some fur-type materials are used as ruffs around the jacket hoods, to collect exhaled moisture, so that it freezes on those hairs, and is used on the backs of some mittens, so that a person can wipe away the frost that begins to build up on the exposed facial skin as a person exhales.
