Building AOSP for custom device


I'm new to the Android modding and I wonder how I build the AOSP without modifications for my own device (Motorola Moto G 2014).
I read already the Google guide but it only shows the way how to build the system for a Nexus device (I guess the AOSP source only contains the drivers for those devices).
So what do I need to prepare for building for my device? I saw that CyanogenMod has for each device they support two repositories, one with the kernel and one with stuff I don't know).
Is it possible to build the AOSP without any modifications at all?

Thanks for responses

AOSP will build without modification - but only for the Google Nexus devices and emulators.

Remember that Android is an entire operating system - not just some simple software that you can build for any platform. In particular, you will need a working kernel along with boot and hardware drivers to be able to build Android for a specific device.
