Yes, of course. But it is efficient to build, at least until a point.
Basically, you want to build until the point where you are not receiving positive returns from the costs of buildings and the ways you could have been using your turns otherwise.
I'll give you an example (with easy numbers cause I'm lazy):
You can spend $1000 and 1 turn to build. If you do so, you'll get a $2 increase in revenue for the next 750 turns. If you don't build, you'll get $300 extra from cashing. The net benefit of building is $200, so you build.
Now, if you're just grabbing and cashing turns for readiness, you see the problem here, right? I'd imagine there is not a net benefit to grab and only build to regain readiness either as you'll run into the point where it becomes costly to build quicker and your production won't be the same at that point as it would at a similar point using the same amount of turns where you have less land but it is more fully built. However, there is a time and place to do what your proposing, yes.
If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
