Have anyone completed the Endless Mode - The Builders?
It seem can't avoid settlers getting gravely ill... Any suggest, please?

Get bunker houses ASAP, before the first storm.
get an infirmary with overcrowding asap as well.
Don't try building the generator before the first storm, focus on warmth.
After the first storm, you should be able to build 1 part of the gen before the second storm and after that, you should be able to build 2 parts in between storm (all withtout rushing).

The Builders mode is actually easier than normal endurance: because you don't have a generator, the weather won't go under -70°C until day 50

In this mode you have to build a generator like in the last autumn scenario. Once the generator is built, you can continue playing like a classic endless mode.
So he probably meant complete the generator (there is an achievement for that)

You start with alot of manpower so get three Research buildings going as soon as possible. You need bunk houses and infirmeries. You may also want to go for hot houses if going for the Order path. Should have a really strong community after the first storm to build the generator without too much rushing.

You might be right about normal difficulty, but I disagree with Endurance mode being harder than Builder on extreme because of the first storm. With Endurance mode you have a working generator for that first storm so making it through that storm is easy. That first storm in Builder mode is very hard on extreme. On extreme it gets cold enough that bunkhouses are still freezing. It's possible to upgrade everything to houses before the first storm but you pretty much have to neglect everything else (food, exploration, coal, etc).

Unless you manage to upgrade all of your housing all the way to actual houses (not bunkhouses) before that first storm, you're going to get a massive number of sick people during that first storm including a large number of amputees.

In Endurance mode it's pretty trivial to get through the first storm with zero sick people and zero amputees by mid way through the first day after the storm.

Completing the generator before the first storm is impossible without rushing pretty much everything and maybe not even then. I usually don't complete it til sometime before the 3rd storm on extreme. I prefer not to rush any of it to avoid the malfunctions and disadvantages you get with each rushed stage.

IMO, the only thing that's harder on Endurance than it is on Builder is making progress with the settlements since you have less workers and engineers available to send them until after you've already made it through the first few storms.

Finally, the generator completed! Hooray!!! But wait... can I dismantle the 4 main buildings surrounding the generator after completion?

Congrats !
You can dismantle the buildings but the area is forever wasted anyway, can't build regular buildings there :s

Yes. You cannot build normal buildings there though.

You will have to build steam hubs to warm your city.
