The tools we use today are basically the same techniques that were used before. The only real differences is stronger materials and engines. I.e., the difference between turning a crank at 1000 rpm versus 3 rpm. And if you're forced to use the latter, it's going to look like loads of dudes and animals dragging things about no matter how it is organized. All in all, what I'm saying is that we see the past as using "brute force" construction methods because those are the construction methods we still use today. We just use denser energy sources to make it happen faster. This isn't going to change any cultural understandings unless you're trying to paint a picture that magic was involved before.
