Your civilians will build it, ship it, and pay you tax if you leave them alone.
A moderate population (600 million) will produce several thousand infrastructure a year and the civilian shipping lines will pay tax to you like any other trade goods.
Because setting up contracts is the only way I can direct the development of my colonies. If I let the civilians handle it, they will only deliver infrastructure to the first colony I set up (in 5.62. I've read this is fixed in 6.0+, but I can't upgrade in the middle of my LP).
