Construct, put up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erect

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'construct' is the first definition.
(erecting is a kind of constructing)

'put up' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for erect that I've seen before include "Crete (anag)" , "Unbowed" , "Assemble" , "Build - straight up" , "Standing straight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
