As there are a number of house building questions, I thought I could add another.

I live in 1918 Villa with 10 foot (3m) ceiling height. The roof space is 120m2 and has great northern views.

Because of shape house, putting in formal stairs could be tricky. In UK there is an industry for supplying pull down hall stairs etc.

So has anyone done an attic conversion in NZ? Tips?

- Are you saying that you want to lower the ceiling on the ground floor to gain height in the attic? I think that would be difficult as the roof trusses will be in the way and very difficult to move

 

- Pull down stairs are common but probably not acceptable for consenting a habitable space. If you want it to be a bedroom etc then proper stairs will be required
