The exact methods used by the Forerunners to construct these artificial worlds is unknown. Presumably, large numbers of Constructors and Sentinels play a role in the construction process, laying down the initial structure. Over this is laid a vast network of scaffolding, over which the artificial environment is placed, including earth, rocks, and significant quantities of water.

[[The Ark]] plays a significant and noteworthy part in construction, and is the location where replacement Halo Installations are built and later transported, should one be destroyed by the Flood or opposing forces. Although the Ark constructs smaller installations, it is unknown how the Ark was initially built.

Rather than creating entirely artificial structures, the Covenant uses a different approach, using a natural body as the base upon which added layers are added. The [[Unyielding Hierophant]] was built around an asteroid, with the reactors and bulbous sections added after it had been hollowed out. Likewise, High Charity is suspected to have been built around a fragment of the original [[San 'Shyuum]] home world, though it has never been explicitly stated.
