[General] Can we say "buildings are being erected"?

[Aamir Tariq]

Can we say buildings are being erected, instead of "Buildings are being constructed or built". Would it sound natural if I say so?

Yes, you can say that.

 

[Tdol]

You can say it, but it doesn't sound that natural to me.

 

[Tarheel]

They erect skyscrapers, don't they?

 

[Tdol]

It sounds more natural to me with skyscrapers.
