Then the worker will also construct like a human worker would.
Yep, and the reason for that unit to be "undead race" is specifically because i want it to warp buildings in the "undead" fashion. I just didn't expect this glitch to happen.
You can make a dummy unit that repairs the building and remove it when construction finishes. With some workarounds it should be possible.
It isn't a glitch, that is a game mechanic... just like ghouls when harvesting trees they become blight.
The Ghoul's ability is Harvest Lumber(Ghoul), i didn't know this would happen even with the common Harvest Lumber and Gold ability.
i was also looking for the path to replace but couldn't find it so far. Is this the one?
This is not about ghoul's ability, it is about the undead race. Just like if you move a peasant to undead race, it would have undead build style. Same thing with harvesting, trees will be blight with any undead race unit.
This only works for the Lordaeron Tree model, if you want to use a different one then check in ReplaceableTextures folder to find the path. example :

mmmmhhhhh!! thanks but i'll use the path replacement. Seems more fit with what i want to do.If you are willing to keep blighted trees in the game, you can use something like this:
"Town Hall ++" is just a copy of "Town Hall" given to the worker instead.
Build Town Hall is ability based on "Build Tiny..." ability.
On the downside, it has lag that probably can't be dealt with (even if you relocate worker properly).
I managed to make it work, but in game it displays the tree with black squares around its branches, like something has gone wrong. Any tips?
Maybe something is wrong with the path? I'm not really sure. What type of tree are trying to replace by the way?
The LordaeronSnowTree or something like that. I tracked down its path through Viewer, extracted it, jpg-ed it, tga-ed it, blp-ed it and reimported it in the editor with what seemed to be the blighted tree path in the viewer. The model displays correctly, but around its layers of leafs it's got black edged squares.
You lost the transparency (alpha) layer. Probably when you converted it to a JPG, or you used a TGA format that didn't have an alpha channel. Properly preserve that channel throughout the process and the black should disappear.
Why would you do that exactly? You could've simply export it as it is, rename it to LordaeronSnowTreeBlight.blp, import it to your map and change the path to ReplaceableTextures\LordaeronTree\LordaeronSnowTreeBlight.blp and that's it.
Didn't seem to find any function to save it directly as blp? I only found extract BMP......
