the house is 10 meters by 8 meters, therefore it will be 80 square meters.

the house is 10 m by 8 m. and metal rods are placed in the middle of the concrete blocks and then cement is added on top of it all, and then given a smooth finish.

the house will have a ground floor, with the first and second floors above it, as well as a flat roof, with walls, that will be used. the reason i ask is because i plan on putting on the ground floor 2 sitting rooms or one large room with some sort of divider. the area that will be used for the rooms will be app. 6.5 m by 8 m. therefor i need to know if i can make it one big room will like one concrete metal enforced colum in the middle or if it is better just to make it two rooms.

Do NOT look for the answer here. Get a professional engineer to examine the situation and make a determination. There are many factors, such as stagnant versus wind loads, etc. that need to be considered. At the minimum an engineer will be able to design the bracing sufficently to know live loads & cross bracing needed.

Well you know i would need more detail than what you provide. But if the walls are reinforced concrete you don't need columns since the walls can handle the dead and live loads. The wall needs a properly designed reinforced concrete footing to support all the weight of the house. There are many way to frame the roof , but properly designed trusses with load bearing concrete walls would be a good option and no columns necessary. Get some help with your design. Good luck

You could probably get away with 2 support walls at about 3 1/3 meters from either end of the 10 m long wall running parallel with the 8 meter wall. What size support columns are planning on using though? It depends on the strength of them.

2 x 12 floor joists will span about 5 meters. Roof trusses could span the entire 10 meters without intermediate support. 2 x 6 floor joists can only span about 2-1/2 meters. So it depends on what you are building.

Ditto jcp above.
If you get an engineer, you can do anything you want.
