Ah yes, Because everyone knows that when building a house, you start with the roof first and not the foundation it sits upon. It is honestly rather difficult to figure a floor plan in reverse. Even more so if it is large and or complicated. Let alone trying to keep supports and roof up without all the stuff that supposed to be below it first.

No contractor I know uses wood flooring for a foundation. They start with concrete, stone, or brick. Then they do the framing for the walls, put Tyvek protected plywood walls up on the outside, then put the roof and roofing tiles on. After that is the siding and then rain gutters.

Its only when that is all done that dry wall is put up on the inside, wooden flooring installed, and molding and trim are added.
