Make,
construct,
manufacture mean to produce, to put into definite form, or to put parts together to make a whole.
Make is the general term:
Bees make wax.
Construct, more formal, means to put parts together, usually according to a plan or design:

Manufacture usually refers to producing something from material that requires conversion from one state or condition to another, now almost entirely by means of machinery in a relatively complex process:

to manufacture an excuse.
