The most immediate method to gather the components needed to construct the various objects that make up a settlement is to scrap what was there when you arrived.

It even makes a good noise.

Apparently, any settler without a job will bring in bits and pieces of junk too.

Place your trap, then wire it up to a powered laser tripwire, and connect a terminal to the tripwire so you can set it to only trigger when a hostile steps through.
