No, a section drawing is a cross-section through the entire house that also shows the roof trusses. However, the drawing of the ground slab does not match the drawing of the ground floor. Something is wrong.

Doesn't the drawing match?
Isn't it just that the drawing shows the reinforcements under all vertical interior walls?

Blueprint of a house with side and front elevations, displayed on a wooden table. The drawing includes dimensions and architectural details.
 
It would have been good if all the drawings had been included from the start. The roof is supported by a ridge beam. This ridge beam probably rests on transverse internal walls already on the upper floor. How this is executed more precisely is not clear. This means that some of the "vertical" internal walls, as well as the central wall and beams in the joist, are load-bearing. It is difficult to proceed further without being able to inspect the construction on-site. The drawing of the ground floor and the one above the ground slab do not match in all aspects.
 
Regardless, what you're going to do is an intervention in a load-bearing structure, and then a building permit application is required, with calculations done by a structural engineer?

This ridge beam probably rests on cross-standing partition walls already on the upper floor. How this is executed more precisely is not apparent. This means that some of the "vertical" partition walls as well as the core wall and beams in the floor structure are load-bearing. It's difficult to go further without being able to inspect the construction on-site. The drawing of the ground floor and the one over the ground plate do not match in all aspects.

Absolutely, this is something I will do if we choose to proceed with this. Right now, I'm just trying to get an idea of the size of the project and what the potential cost and timeframe might be.

I don't want to hire a structural engineer who might charge 10000 kr for this only to then realize that it will end up being too much work and money, or that it's not even possible to solve.
