Loft Conversion

Converting your loft to form extra rooms to increase the living space  is very popular. However, the structural design and build of a loft conversion is often more complicated than a  simple extension. At Planning- Building we will take care of Local authority Planning permission and building regulation applications for your loft conversion or roof extension. Usually, the design will essentially match the existing architectural features of your of your home and keep the roof projection as unobtrusive as possible.

Most lofts can be converted. The most important factor is the which needs to be at least 2.1m. If not achieveable, our strutural engineer will look into the possibility of lowering the ceiling level to achieve the above.

The success of loft conversion

To maximise headroom, space and create a better design, our structural engineer will study the existing structure and carefully calculate the structural implications whilst aiming for space optimisation. At planning-building we will also aim to give you the best design so as to bring more value to your project and increase your property value as a whole. So you will have full structural design package with the plans.
Most companies just do a drawing without even consulting a structural engineer.
