Are the repairing/building downtime activities outlined in the Age of Ashes adventure path group activities or solo activities? For example:
If building a structure is said to require 10 days to complete, and I have 5 people in my party do they each contribute to 1 "day" of work? In which case it would only take 2 days to complete?
Or is it assumed that the entire group takes part in the activity and thus it would take 10 days?

I think that the cleaning activities count five people working for a day as 5 days' work, but the later repair and improvement projects require organized labor so an entire group of people working for a day is just one day's work.

I see - but then the question just becomes when PCs organize labor do they do it as a group or individually? Can you have X upgrade/repair projects going at the same time if you have X players? All X players organizing and contributing labor to the same upgrade/repair project?
You can have X projects, but you probably won't because the repair projects require pretty particular builds. So unless all of your X players have Specialty Stonecrafting it won't likely happen.
In practice, what probably happens is they'll hire the two different professional Stone Masons to each run a project simultaneously, perhaps while two Crafting Trained PCs run the easiest tasks. Most of the time, they will just need to Organize Labor at the start of a project and Administer about once a week or so, then leave it up to the professionals. My PCs wound up having a lot of free time to Earn Income and such.
