I don't mean license limit/level requirements) and you can still place buildings (Woodcutter for example) when the quest tells you to build a mason.
The tutorial told me to build one woodcutter at the start, I instantly placed down two and so on. You can still make the choice of following the tutorial literally, or do what is asked while in the meanwhile developing the city further.
