____________________________________________
This space could
be your gold mine; it can be turned into an extra bedroom,
bathroom, gym, den or office. In considering this project,
the following list will help you to make decisions about
your future living space:
-
Local building codes and requirements need
to be reviewed
-
The existing structure needs to be examined for leaks and wet
or damp spots (moisture is the key to mold control)
-
Engineering inspections determine structural soundness of existing
floors and walls to properly support the new room and it’s
planned contents
-
Most building codes require 7’-6” minimum finished
ceiling height for more than 50% of the floor area. Adding
appliances and equipment such as a furnace or water heater
may require advanced floor and space planning
-
Dormers, which are a projection of the sloped roof trusses,
will increase headroom making more usable space
-
New windows may be required by code, for example a bedroom
may require larger windows needed in case of a fire
-
Temporary construction access needs to be considered if a
new staircase is built
-
Ventilation and insulation are important aspects of the attic
remodeling
-
Architectural and Design plans will be necessary to obtain
permits and calculate a budget
