Depends if you are frosting the back sides of the pieces.  If yes, you can frost the backs as soon as the pieces are cool.  Then wait 24 hours for the pieces to fully dry (that have been frosted on the backside), then you can flip over and decorate the front sides, or begin construction.

Regardless.... after you construct the house, you must wait 24 hours for the wall/roof seems to dry.  If you do not wait for the constructed house to dry completely before you decorate, it will probably crash.

And... make sure you are assembling the house using Royal Icing.  Regular canned, or buttercream will not hold.  You must use Royal Icing.
