It does sound like he might be unwell. They can get stressed by things changing suddenly so it could be he's a bit disorientated. Maybe take him out for a bit and stroke him on your knee or something. Now that you've put the house back, you could put a pile of torn up strips of toilet paper next to it, and put a little bit inside the house as well so it's cosy, plus some familiar smelling bedding from where he slept before so it doesn't smell too strange. Then see how he is when he's out being stroked. He might come round a bit.

I hope he's ok. They can get very freaked by a big change like a house disappearing though. Our Syrian sat and shook once when something changed in his cage - it was very worrying.
