Think specific mention of the Wizard Universalist Arcane Crafter - Arcanamirium Crafter Absalom
Likewise know you are doing spells feats and traits but Crafter's Fortune is certainly worth a mention as pretty much a gimme.
Crafter's FortuneGood luck and well done
G
While Crafter's Fortune is easy for wizards to get, it is not on the cleric list. [alchemist 1, sorcerer/wizard 1]
However, Beloved of the Forge works for clerics. [alchemist 2, bard 2, cleric 2, shaman 2]
CF is 1 day/level
BotF is 1 hour/level
Both are +5 Luck to Craft skill.
By the time you are doing major crafting, a single cast of BotF lasts all crafting day long.

There is yet another way to get Craft Construct: Protector of the People
For the price of a donated CR 5+ golem, to your beleaguered town, this feat grants Craft Construct w/o needing to meet any Craft Construct’s prerequisites.
Cheapest golem: Tallow Golem (CL 14; 13,000 gp, craft for 6,750 gp; 13 days)
If CL is an issue go for: Rope Golem (CL 8; 14,200 gp, craft for 7,200 gp; 15 days)
When you donate this golem, you also get a discount on all created constructs that cost less than the donates golem costed.
This is the fewest feats needed to become a construct creator, but as a story feat, you need to have a community under persecution and requires considerable defense. [Or have the Raiders, the Righting a Wrong, The War, or The Way Things Work background]

I'm surprised Alchemist wasn't an honorable mention. With the Promethian Disciple discovery they can use craft (alchemy) instead of spellcraft. Not having a spell only adds +5 to the DC but at 11th lvl my alchemist adds 55 without items or spells.
The guy who made the guide stopped updating it 3 years ago. Cevah necro'd the thread in August.

Necro time....
I spent the last two nights making a huge spreadsheet for making constructs, analyzing the listed spells, costs, caster levels, skills, and so on. I got a summary below that lists constructs with build requirements by minimum caster level. I was surprised at the amount of constructs with no minimum. Anyway, the data was collected from the Pathfinder Ccommunity monster database as of 27 Jul 2015 (last available, sorry).
Here is the list of most referenced spell requirements:
6:6 geas/quest (103)
9:- wish (68)
7:- limited wish (62)
-:6 animate objects (56)
8:- polymorph any object (22)
4:3 animate dead (12)
4:- lesser geas (12)
2:2 make whole (10)
Without further ado, the following is a bar separated table. Replace the bars with tabs and past into a spreadsheet.

Oh, and for hitting those skill DCs, the following info is offered:
+2 Luck: Four-leaf Clover -- 3,750 gp
+5 Luck: Beloved Of The Forge (1H/L)
+5 Luck: Crafter's Fortune (1D/L)
+2/5/10 Enh: Tears to Wine (10M/L)
+2 Circ: Masterwork Tools -- 50 gp
+2 Comp: Magenta Prism (cracked) [Ioun Stone] -- 800 gp
+5 Comp: Monocle of Flawlessness (trained crafts) -- 8,750 gp
+10: Insight: Azlant Pendant -- 3,100 gp
Reroll: Fortunate Charm -- 3,000 gp
Note about Tears to Wine (1st or 2nd depending on class):
When you hut 9th level, you get +5 for 1.5 Hours. That needs 6 castings of the spell. At 10th level, you only need 5. You likely can afford those castings in your spare slots, or can cut the day short a bit. And at 2gp for a power component giving +1 CL, at 9th level you need 5 castings and 6 gp of power components. At 15th level it is +10.
Another point: it produces a lot of wine. You get 1 cubic foot per 2 levels. Each cubic foot should provide wine for about 64 people. That is about 32 people per level get the skill bonus. Great for your sweat shop of skilled crafters.

Necro for another tool:
Here is another way to max skills: Spirit Ridden.
This feat lets you max out one skill, and it becomes a class skill as well, for an hour per level once a day. So as long as you only need a single skill, this is the easiest since you can max a different skill each day.

Ooh! Found a new resource:
Craftable Constructs Cheetsheet
I got to check this out.
EDIT: Check out the Chirurgeon Cube (9,800 gp). It can give fastheal 2 to a construct for up to 10 minutes. That is 200 hp a day in repair.

Necro time...
I went through over 1000 traits to see what ones are good. Here is what I found:...
Tireless Logic gets you a roll twice on a check once a day
Empyreal Focus, Inner Beauty, and Propitiation get a bonus > +1 for the craft skill.
Eldritch Smith, Hedge Magician, and Spark of Creation all get discounts on the price.
Agent of Dusk and Duskwalker Agent are a more general merchant discount/sale premium.

This discount also applies to your starting gear.

The arcane discovery Arcane Builder looks quite helpful:
You have an exceptional understanding of the theory behind creating magical items.
Benefit: Select one type of magic item (potions, wondrous items, and so on). You create items of this type 25% faster than normal, and gain a +4 bonus on Spellcraft checks (or other checks, as appropriate) to craft items of this type.
Special: You may select this discovery multiple times; its effects do not stack. Each time you select this discovery, it applies to a different type of magic item.
Choose Craft Construct, and make them much faster.
/cevah
Necro time....
If a Shaman chooses Lore for his Wandering Spirit, he can then choose Arcane Enlightenment as the Wandering Hex. This nets him some arcane spells to add to his list.
This can go a long way to fufilling spell requirements in making constructs.
/cevah
Don't underestimate the Lore Oracle when it comes to crafting constructs (or anything else); Focused Trance will give a Lore Oracle a +20 circumstance bonus on any intelligence-based skill check, which includes spellcraft. With the intelligence boost from their Mental Acuity, I'd say a Lore Oracle could easily trump a wizard when making the crafting checks.
Interesting.
"Focused Trance (Ex): You can enter a deep meditation, blocking out visual and auditory stimuli and allowing you to concentrate on a single problem, philosophical issue, or memory. This trance lasts 1d6 rounds, during which time you can only take move actions. During this period, you gain a bonus equal to your level on all saves against sonic effects and gaze attacks. When you come out of your trance, you may make a single Intelligence-based skill check with a +20 circumstance bonus. You may enter your focused trance a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier."It seems to me that using this revelation on something that itself takes a long period of time, such as a spellcraft check to enchant a golem, is problematic.
The wording of the revelation implies it can only be used for short tasks. It at least needs a GM ruling.
You do have a point about the limited spells known issue, but it's a minor hurdle, not a game breaker; playing a human, half-orc, or half-elf will provide bonus spells known, and there are always Pages of Spell Knowledge.
Or get yourself a Mnemonic Vestment. It is probably a better solution and an excellent purchase even if you never craft anything.
I have to disagree.
Activating the 'Focused Trance' take 1d6 rounds but nothing say you can't use the bonus you gain from your renewed focus to sit down and solve a puzzle. no matter how long that may take. it say nothing about the time the skill check need to take to gain this bonus.
"..When you come out of your trance, you may make a single Intelligence-based skill check with a +20 circumstance bonus... " I can totally see a master artisan, say De Vinchi, take a few moments before he continue on a masterpiece to refocus. the crafting time of said master piece can take hours uninterrupted after that.
zza ni- I looked up the rules for craft skills and we are both wrong. Maybe I was a bit more wrong than you were.
The crafting rules are way too long to quote here, but as I read it in your example Da Vinci would normally make a craft check once a day or week and if successful he would make one days or weeks progress towards finishing his masterpiece.
The length of time it takes to craft the item depends on it's value.
Given that you can start with Focused Trance at level one and can use it a number of times per day equal to your cha mod, and Oracles run off cha, this makes a Lore Oracle incredibly good at some things.
Most obviously magic item crafting. Being able to give yourself a +20 on every check is insanely good. If the bonus was only +10 it would be more than worth a revelation for that alone.
Given that Focused Trance can be used for a bunch of other things as well and that the mystery is otherwise excellent I want to start playing one asap.
I don't see where I'm wrong though?
you do not work the entire day or week. only up to 8 hours (may depend on other things. talking in general) but even the mundane crafting that are marked by a week CAN be done day-based (rules say you just divide by seven and do a daily run).
He can focus before the 8 hour long crafting session. the whole process is one long big craft check (maybe even with resting, eating and talking in the middle, doesn't matter -it's one check) and the bonus would apply to it as such.
How long it take to perform the check isn't really a factor at all, as long as it's one uninterrupted check. (and I mean by stuff that would force to re-roll\fail the check such as combat, not interruptions allowed within the skill use rules).
Every skill use has a section that mention how long\what actions it takes to perform. Some int based checks such as a knowledge check might not even take an action and some such as a craft check might take hours.
The bonus from the ability doesn't CARE for the length of time the action to perform the skill check take, only that the bonus is applied to ONE skill check.

Yes yes. But that is you saying that, not a quote from the rules.
I actually think you are probably right about this having consulted the crafting rules. Probably.
To mount an argument against, recall you can start with focused trance at lvl 1. Compare it to this universal mythic ability-
"Display of Intelligence (Su)
As a free action, you can expend one use of mythic power to attempt a feat of Intelligence, gaining a +20 circumstance bonus on one Intelligence-based skill check or Intelligence ability check."
They are around the same power, display of intelligence uses one use of mythic power per use, where focused trance can be used as many times per day as your cha bonus without further cost but it takes 1d6 rounds. Focused trance could even be considered a little better. It seems obviously wrong that a revelation you can start with can be as good as a mythic power or anything like as good. Remember mythic anything is not available at all in most campaigns.
the rules in pathfinder follow a linear logic. they only apply to what is mentioned and only limit what is specifically limited.
As the ability doesn't say how long the action which gain the bonus have to take -then the rules do not care how long it take as long as it's the right kind of action (in this case an int check). This is not me 'saying it' it's how pathfinder rules go by.
You trying to ADD a limit to the duration of the check is YOU changing the rules, not the other way around.
and you can't face rules from one source book to another. a LOT of stuff is trivial and was written by other people without considering what is in EVERY rule source book. I can totally see some abilities in one book overshadowing an ability in another even is the other is said to be a mythic one.
Not to mention this ability is way more limited then the mythic ability you mentioned. The revolution takes not a free action but 1d6 rounds which in game term can be more then enough to finish an encounter. The mere fact the mythic take a free action even if the oracle ability took but a standard action it could have still been considered mythical in compression.
