I would like to build by a boss spawn point, I am out of agro range but the boss will not spawn. What is the official distance X, Y and Z to build as to NOT interfere with the spawn?
Maybe someone who has played with the DevKit, like @Xevyr, might find an answer there. If not, I would suggest going into single-player mode and experimenting until you get the distance right.

I know some people have built above some of the dungeons by accident (not knowing they were above it) and despawned the boss. In one case, the entire dungeon did not spawn. I am not sure about the actual distances involved.

I recently read somewhere that building over dungeons is fixed. Maybe two patches ago. Nice!

Sadly, it wasn’t, at least not completely. On PVE-C 1822, the pile of rocks inside the silver mine doesn’t spawn because someone built on the surface at the corresponding coordinates. 
Or at least, that’s the way it was a month (or so) ago. When I found out about that, I had the choice to: 1) try to talk to this serial refresher if I ever catch them online, 2) report them, 3) move to another server.
I moved.

Building close to world bosses has no benefits actually. In single player i lost a lot of thralls and pets building close to the big crock. Then in online servers people were kiting the boss to my base so my thralls will kill it and they get the key! This was not bad actually with the old thralls, but with the ones we have today, start counting losses! Ofcurce i lost decades of weak pets this way.
Then on purges, the purge was dragging the world boss close and i had another headache to deal with. The worst part was that the named crafters i wanted to capture were against the world boss and i was loosing them too 
.
I prefer not to build close to world bosses years now for many many reasons !

It depends on base positioning. There’s a sweet spot between the white dragon world boss and the little ones where you can build without drawing aggro from either and you’re partially protected on one side from purges as they’ll slam into the dragon first.

I was building as you exit the volcano entrance on the right. It has some black ice spawns too.
This distance however is not small, and the traffic up there was low. Not to mention that this dragon was giving nothing more than dragon bones, so nobody was really interested to kill this dragon. On purges however this dragon was always agroed, but hopefully the purge up there was from cimmerian beast tamers, high hp thrall and it was really difficult to loose a crafter. To the snowy “opens” i had the most wonderful and profitable purges in this game. Thanks for the flash back @Lucidique
