Simply use the "Wait" action first in the list of actions (actions are executed in the order they are on the list). If you want it after x number of seconds into the game, you can also used the elapsed time condition

Condition: (Whatever you want here)
Action: Wait 55 seconds
Action: Build Side2 Warehouse in area "Applebee's"

or

Condition: Elapsed time 30
Action: Build Side 2 Warehouse in area "Applebee's"

Simple!

Two things to note here: One, you can only spawn one building into an area at a time. It always appears in the upper left corner. If anything other than scenery (ie bushes or trees) occupies that space when the spawn action is called, it will fail. Two, if you spawn mobile units and/or unit groups into an area, they will appear as close to the center as possible, and you can spawn more than one unit and or group.
