Making turtles build structures from a preset design is challenging and requires you to make several different apis and programs that are specific to different tasks.
The first thing you'll want to make is a navigation api. Make an api that is capable of navigating to a set of coordinates (x,y,z). I'll give you that at the bottom of this post, but I would suggest that you try to make your own first. Only a suggestion though :)/>/> You can use mine by putting the file into your api folder and calling it with filename.navigate(x,y,z)
Next you'll need a program that allows you to create designs for your house and interpret that design into coordinates so your navigation api can read it. Check out Biposy's
biodesign for ideas.
The third and final thing you'll need to make is something that uses the coordinates from the design program. I would suggest that you build in layers. Start from the bottom and build up.
Like I said at the beginning of this post, making advanced turtles is challenging and you'll need a lot of patience. With that said, I wish you the best of luck and hope that this post helped you get on the right track :P/>/>
