There are eight characteristics that all civilizations in the world share: advanced cities, well-organized government, distinct social classes, writing, art and architecture, public works, job specialization, religion.

Four significant factors that would be involved in the construction of a large public project would be:

Well-organized government: The government would need to finance the project, hire the workers and manage the construction.

Writing: All the documents (permits, plans, etc.) regarding the project would need to be written down.

Job specialization: You would need workers who know about specific types of jobs, and the work would be divided by specialization.

Art and architecture: The building would be designed according to the society's beauty standards of architecture.
