Very simple, if not time consuming. You need to fully research the construction tree in the industry research tab. You don't need research excavation to get access to the next tier of construction.
Any country will do for this achievement, so it's your choice if you want to play a major role in WW2 and research this or sit back as a minor in South America and just research.
Note that there is a time penalty if you research rank V before 1943
