You’d probably need steel supports to hold up the floor. If you were ever to sell you’d need a engineers sign off. I’d be wary of doing stuff yourself, the structural elements need to be inspected before they get covered by plasterboard etc. you might be saving a lot of future trouble up for yourself.

When we had our attic done they did the floor first & then the stairs were put in. You'd need to know what height to build the stairs so can't see being able to put the stairs in first.

Got a quote of 53K not inc VAT at 13.5% for attic dormer conversion that would result in three own door rooms.
One room being a bathroom with pumped shower.
The other two rooms are Double beds or large offices.

Mind you I’m handy enough and done most of the heavy lifting myself apart from Velux,electric etc.

We will need to either build a single storey extension @40m2 or convert an old bungalow attic roof into a dormer which will require planning. I would assume the dormer route will be cheaper but nowadays you never know, has anyone priced both for reference?
