A attic conversion turns unusable space into a room that has to satisfy the Ontario Building Code for structure, escape, fire separation and headroom – and those four decide what is possible long before layout does.
What’s included
- Feasibility – head height, roof structure and access
- Structural design, steels and new floor structure
- Dormers, rooflights and hip-to-gable alterations
- Staircase design and the space it takes from the floor below
- Fire separation, protected escape route and alarms
- Insulation, ventilation and condensation control
- Electrics, heating and plumbing to the new floor
- Building control sign-off
How the work runs
Feasibility is settled before drawings go anywhere – head height and where the stair can land kill more attic conversions than cost does. Fire and escape requirements are designed in from the first sketch rather than added when building control asks.
Where we do this
