I am unsure about crafting constructs. It gives an easy enough to understand description of the process needed, but then there is all this stuff underneath I am confused by. For example, the clay golem:

CL11th; craft construct, animate objects, commune, ressurection, caster must be at least 11th leve; price 40,000 gp; Cost 21,500 gp + 1,540 XP.

What are the spells for and is all that stuff needed as well as the details above?

Yes, all of this is required. Golems and other constructs are created just like magic items. The line of info you are asking about lists the requirements needed to craft the construct as follows.

CL11th: Creator must be 11th level
craft construct: The feat needed to craft a construct (in Monster Manual)
animate objects, commune, ressurection, caster must be at least 11th level: Spells and caster level needed to create the construct
price 40,000 gp: How much it costs to by the construct outright
Cost 21,500 gp + 1,540 XP: Cost in gp and experience points to create one on your own
