Probably, but they could also transport a large 3d printer, designed for home construction, to build structures with adobe, before the first human settlers arrive. We already have those available today.In reality, I think that the first colonies will be underground. Much easier to create a few small environmental seals than it is to build a dome for habitation that you see in so many movies.
I don't really think that would be practical unless it was built inside an already existing containment structure.
Remeber, at first, it will have to be a barracks-style living arrangement until a suitable structure is built to contain the atmo we will need.
