I don't think you need to actually see the building being rebuilt. The money is there for the rebuild and in the meantime the post office people are using what space is available. I'm not being specific as I don't want to give spoilers.
Safe to say that the post office is safe by the end of the book.

I think it´s the same as the great fire of Ankh-Morpork in COM. You also don´t see the actual reconstruction of city, TP only writes in LF:
'I said okay,' said Twoflower. 'I'd quite like to see Ankh-Morpork again. I expect they've rebuilt quite a lot of it by now.'
It should be noted that the last time the two of them had seen the city it was burning quite fiercely, a fact which had a lot to do with Twoflower introducing the concept of fire insurance to a venial but ignorant populace. But devastating fires were a regular feature of Morporkian life and it had always been cheerfully and meticulously rebuilt, using the traditional local materials of tinder-dry wood and thatch waterproofed with tar.
But of course I am sure that tinder-dry wood and thatch waterproofed with tar weren´t used on the Post Office.
