I'd appreciate it if you would answer my question about the following sentences. Thanks in advance.
A: Construction of a skyscraper is difficult.
B: The construction of a skyscraper is difficult.
Can I say A means that generally constructing a skyscraper is difficult.
Can I say B also means that constructing a skyscraper is difficult, but the emphasis is laid on what is constructed?
Many thanks.

I can tell you that both are grammatical, but I'm afraid we don't discuss meaning here (refer to guidelines for posting).
