They start by building the floor unless the house uses a slab foundation in which case the slab is the floor the floor framing looks like this. Just under the visible floor covering is a layer of some kind of material usually only about 1 4 or 1 2 inch thick. This is the finished visible flooring surface such as hardwood planks carpeting ceramic tile or vinyl. Is this normal in older houses.

It is responsible for supporting the layers of flooring above as well as all of the people and items in the house.
