Your island is pretty bare at the beginning so you might be wondering when you get essential buildings like the able sisters and nook's cranny. The short answer is just to wait. It takes about a week to get residential services and two weeks to get the able sisters. The best advice we have without time skipping of course to help Tom Nook as soon as you can when he has an errand for you and take it day by day.

When you've unlocked it you can talk to Tom Nook about infrastructure and he'll help you set up a bridge or a slope fund.
