Walkthrough – Loft Conversion

This is a tutorial walkthrough to how to approach creating this common project request.

The most common scenario we see for this are:

1. Hip to gable to form master bedroom with ensuite
2. Hip to gable with dormer to form master suite with ensuite
3. Hipped roof kept with side and rear dormer to form 2 bedrooms and shower room
4. Remove the existing roof, and replace with steeper pitch to allow head height to convert loft space (with or without dormer)

Scenario: Hip to gable to form master bedroom with ensuite

1. Add hip to gable loft extension, from extension scope.
   
2. From new build/extend option – add bedroom template + add ensuite template.

Scenario: Hip to gable with dormer to form master suite with ensuite

1. Choose extension or new build from the scope options
2. Add hip to gable loft extension
   
3. Add dormer window template
   
4. From new build/extend option – add bedroom template + add ensuite template.

Scenario: Hipped roof kept with side and rear dormer to form 2 bedrooms and shower room

1. Add dormer extension template x 2nr assuming they are separated.
   
2. From new build/extend option – add bedroom template + add shower room template.

Scenario: Remove the existing roof, and replace with steeper pitch to allow head height to convert loft space (with or without dormer)

1. This is similar to a piggy back loft extension, so pick extension on scope
2. Choose piggy back loft extension
   
3. If needed remove/omit the allowance for external walls if you don’t want this.
