projects requiring quick/fast/rapid erection/assembly
Explanation:
I don't think it really matters exactly which terms you use (quick/fast/rapid) and erection is equally as valid as assembly in this case. I would not say works. Instead I would use projects. In fact I often translate obras as projects and very seldom as works, although obviously it does depend on the context.
