He beaten Hermes in a foot race, there is no way Apollo is going to let him just build something. Also, even if Hephaestus builds something, there is nothing that Hephaestus built that can beat Apollo. The only thing that can hold Apollo is that net he use to hold Ares and Aphrodite, something that Apollo can easily dodge, when Hephaestus throws it at him. Leo builds things in minutes, He gets that power from his dad, Hephaestus. Hephaestus can build things in seconds. Remember when Percy visits Hephaestus? Percy notices he's constantly tinkering and he builds a small automaton or something in like seconds if I'm correct. Actually, I think the same thing is mentioned in Leo's conversation with him. I would quote, but I'm not near my books right now.

But anyway, that clearly means he's pretty fast. In fact, Hephaestus invented the Rustic Hand Dance, just to support his fast-moving hands. Seriously with that nothing can beat Apollo crap? If we're going by achievements Hephaestus has captured several gods(Hera,Aphrodite,Ares) so yeah. On the other hand, the only thing said about the footrace was that Apollo won so that's really not sufficient evidence. Not to mention that Hephaestuscould just pour oil on the ground and Apollo's supposed super-speed is of no use.
