Yes, I definitely think using what's in space for building in space will be the first logical step. Then we can explore the feasibility of expanding that to transporting resources back to earth.
As I understand it, this is the main purpose of building a space elevator. Hypothetically, that would greatly reduce the costs of getting in and out of Earth's gravity well.
