Hi Phyrefly!
Welcome Welcome Welcome
It sounds to me, like your still fairly early in the game. As you gain tech levels in construction, you will find new projects for your builders to work on.
That's about as far as I can go without giving you hints you may not want yet. If that doesn't help, you can check out the strategy guide.
Enjoy your game, and while exploring the Forum, beware of anything that has the word "spoiler" in the title since it contains hints or information you may not want yet.
