Step 1: Collecting Materials
There are three items you must have before you can build things: nails, wooden planks, and a hammer. Nails can be found almost anywhere. On the other hand, wooden planks and hammers are harder to come by. Hammers can rarely be found outside of a hardware store or warehouse.
Wooden planks can be collected in a few ways. If you're lucky, you can sometimes find them inside of crates. You can equip an axe or a sledgehammer and destroy doors, which will yield one to two planks per door. The most reliable way of getting wooden planks, however, is by chopping down trees and then cutting the logs using a saw.
In addition to simple construction, you have the option of decorating your stuff by plastering and painting it using plaster, paint brushes and cans of paint.
Step 2: The Building Menu
Right click the ground to bring up the context menu. When you have a hammer in your inventory, you will be able to browse the list of possible constructions underneath the 'Build' tab. The names will appear in red when you lack the necessary materials or required carpentry skill. Clicking on what you wish to build, a preview of the construction will appear. Position it where you want it to appear (rotate using R) and then click. Your character will automatically begin building.

Step 3: Level Up
As you complete more constructions, you will gain experience in the carpentry skill. You can open your skill menu using the 'C' key. When you have gained enough experience to advance to the next level, you can click the icon beside the carpentry skill to level up. As you gain levels in carpentry, more constructions will become available and your character will be able to build sturdier structures overall.
