a vertical structural element that divides a space and often also acts as a load-bearing structure. There are also openable partitions. Partitions can be added or demolished, usually quite freely.[11] A permit is required to demolish a load-bearing wall.[12] The structure usually needs to be stiffened with at least a roof beam, sometimes also with pillars.[13]
The roof protects the space from above. In construction technology, the roof is divided into different parts: water roof, water roof structures, upper floor, interior ceiling structures and interior ceiling surfaces.
Building a house
Building a house begins with planning and applying for permits. After that, the construction site is cleared and the necessary infrastructure such as electricity and water are brought there. The house can be built in the traditional way yourself, i.e. from "long goods" or as a house package.[14]
History of the house in Finland

In contrast to other types of dwellings such as a hut or a lodge, a house has meant a more solid building with straight walls, the walls of which are usually made of logs. The house gets its name from a hut, a platform at the end of the pillars that belonged to some ancient houses, on which, for example, hay was dried.source?
The oldest buildings were apparently homes. However, as early as the Stone Age, large-scale buildings were also built in Finland using the log-salvo technique. The walls were partly supported by soil, or partly dug into the ground. The houses were up to tens of meters long, terraced houses for several families or one clan. However, the tradition of the log-salvo technique has apparently been broken at some point, which is why the hut was used, and also the new arrival, the hut. Log houses came into use again in the Metal Age, apparently. After the advent of the new house, the hut was used only as a temporary dwelling, and the hut as a cooking place, where food was prepared, especially in the summer.
