Attic Conversions & Renovations

Is space an issue? Why not consider an attic conversion or renovation? 

Quite often a simple solution to space constraints is just above us - a substantial roof cavity doing nothing other than storing never-to-be-seen-again trinkets from yesteryear can bring a whole new aspect on life - with some great new views.

Frequently Asked Attic Conversion Questions (FAQ)

    A simple storage type conversion will likely cost less than $20,000 whilst a 25 - 30m2 pop up is more likely to cost $150,000+. Every attic renovation is unique and as such cost will vary significantly.

  • Do you need council consent to convert your attic?

    If creating a living or sleeping space in your attic conversion it is most likely to require a consent. If just for storage then most likely not.

    Yes - as long as the building requirements to create the new living space are not excessive. Factors that impact this cost are access, suitable head height and ability of the existing structure to support the new space.

  • How long does an attic conversion take?

    1 - 2 weeks to create a simple storage solution and up to 3 months for a pop up style attic conversion.
