I ran a custom manufacturing lab for 10 years, I know the difference in manufacture and build as well.

Not to be pedantic though, unless you are building the entire house with cement, the 4th example is wrong.

Isn't the difference simply robotics/machinary involved? 

In a nutshell, pretty much.

The general idea of manufacturing is to create an independent item using technology and/or innovative procedures.  The general idea of building is to use independent items to create a better/stronger/more capable item through any means really.
