As the first moonmen worked to set up their rudimentary base, supply ships would have to be sent periodically with additional provisions for more permanent materials for the eventual large lunar base. Meanwhile, the moonmen would continue to live in their pressurized domes. As supplies accumulated, construction of the permanent base would begin.
