I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'interpretation which requires some' is the first definition.
'construction' can be an answer for 'interpretation' (construction is a kind of interpretation). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.

'building up' is the second definition.
'construction' can be an answer for 'building' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'up' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for construction that I've seen before include "Industry of erecting buildings" , "Building; interpretation" , "Process of erecting buildings" , "Act of building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
