Like a is it possible for a sea creature to evolve their intelligence and starting to build their own civilization with buildings, machineries, or even electricity etc.

Afaik, it is so fucking hard to build something underwater that is more complex than a cave or simple nest. Even that, they might collapse because of the constant water flow

If humans can have underwater buildings then why not?

I mean, why wouldn't it be theoretically possible?

I think it'd be possible to get as far as farming and perhaps heat based power sources much like humans utilised steam. Electricity may however be insurmountable for an aquatic civilisation

How will they insulate the eletric flow so they not kill everything in the neighborhood

Oh, well. electricity may be a problem, but civilisation itself shouldnt be. It may just need run on other things. or heck, maybe they could find a way to do it. I'm sure it is potentially possible.

No. One big problem is that hands like ours are very unlikely to evolve in marine animals (the closest are Octi tentacles). Human hands were very important in the evolution of human intelligence.
