Why is the house collapsing?  Because walls seams come apart, or wall/roof pieces bend/break/collapse?

If the gingerbread pieces themselves are collapsing, you might try frosting the the back sides of all the wall and roof pieces with Royal Icing before assembling the house.  This will add strength the gingerbread pieces. 

Then, before constructing the house, depending on your desired decorating, see if you can frost/decorate the front sides with Royal Icing prior to constructing.  This will also add strength to the pieces.
