Time will come when you will be in need of a safe space to store your excess used furniture, children’s toys and unused appliances and files or old books or magazines and newspapers and an inventory of usable space for that purpose will crowd your mind and start your search at the rooftop down to your basement if there is in your house. While there might not be a real attic atop your ceiling joist, you might try to investigate that open space between your ceiling and your house roof that in most cases would accommodate a meter and a half at the apex point and that would be a sufficient space to store some excess baggage in your rooms. If you have decided that the attic would be the semi-permanent store room of your old unusable baggage, it would be the nice thing to start computing the cost to convert that space into a functional attic. Start planning to convert that space by investigating the actual area involve and prepare a draft working drawing indicating the access ladder type stair to be used and where you might want to access the area, the electrical connections and the tapping point as well as the provision of ventilation so as to provide yourself or anyone who would be working at the attic.

Once you have determined the access stair and the area to be converted, an investigation on the strength of the beams and of course the columns of your house should be evaluated whether additional loads aside from the materials to be stored and the floor beams and walling could be accommodated without sacrificing the safety of your house. Would it be done by your own self with little help from your own household or have it contracted by other skilled individuals at your own budget. All the alteration and addition to your house original plans must be identified so that the work involves in the construction of the attic is properly identified and constructed per your designed wishes.

Since the renovation work would be done inside your house where you are still living assuming you will not move out, the construction must be done in a phasing methodology wherein the functionality of the original house would not be totally affected and in such case you have to hire professional people to do the job if you don’t have the technical capacity to do it by yourself. Some portion of the house must be close to avoid accidents then move to the other part after finishing the portion started and so on. In all these phases of construction, the owner must always be there to assist the renovator-contractor if you decided to have it done by others so that any problem that crops up could be solve in a faster way as there would some unexpected problems that might show up when the renovation work starts like a rotten beam, or a weak column needing reinforcement and other similar problems which are not included in the work originally agreed. In such situations, the attic project would be done as scheduled and your excess unusable personal belongings could now find a temporary or permanent space to house them.
