You're basically asking someone to teach you a carpentry course via
USENET. Not gonna happen. Too much information and without

I agree! Get books.

I have lived in 8 states, and in each state there were county
building
codes and enforced at the county level. You want to build a house
where people will actually live in...you need a building permit from
ether the county or city local government. Some of the questions
the
OP asked will need to be answered before the county issues the
permit.

Remember, he's outside the US, so the rules are likely to be
different. Codes per se may not apply.

When I lived in Pennsylvania, the only way to get the county to
rubber
stamp a building permit was to have the building plans submitted by
a
registered Architect. Otherwise, it would be a long slug through
the
mud of bureaucracy before the plans would be approved.

And before you will be issued an "occupancy" permit on the new
building, the building needs to be inspected. and maybe
re-inspected.

Oh, and if you don't get all the permits and inspections, yes, the
county can make you tear it down, or the county will tear it down
for
you, and sue you to pay for the tear down.

BTW: in some counties, if your foundation is off by as much as 3/4
of
an inch from the plans you submitted to the county, you could be
made
to re- do the foundation.
