But it doesn't look like the components are being built separately.  It 
looks like they're building the complete ship on the ground.  Then maybe 
they detach the components and ferry them up to orbit to be reassembled 
up there.

Anyhoo, I also wonder where this scene fits in with Captain Pike, who we 
heard will appear in this movie too.  The entire ship has to be built, 
tested and ready to warp out of orbit, in order for Pike and Spock to 
serve together for 11 years.  Or at least for Pike to have his Rigel VII 
and Talos IV adventures.

So it sounds like we never see Kirk take command of the Big E in this 
movie.  It gets built, Pike takes command of it with Spock as his 
Science Officer, and Ensign Kirk gets left behind to do--what?  Go serve 
on the U.S.S. Republic, I presume.  And then from there to the U.S.S. 
Farragut.  No way are they going to show all that in this one movie.
