Is it possible to build a unit group at a certain factory inside a certain location? When I tell a unit group to "build" it just builds at any old place.

I don't think so; we can only spawn them.

To simulate building, you could test to see if the side has the credits, then deduct the credits and spawn the unit group at the area of the VTS/HRC.

Okay. I was hoping to get the little yellow bar going across the building to make it seem like it was building, but this'll do. Thankz crakz.

Instead of the yellow bar, you could give an alert. You could also add a Wait to simulate the time it takes to build.

The wait time is 15 seconds with power per unit per building. It is 12 seconds on Easy difficulty. It is 30 seconds when not enough power.
