The cost depends on your location, materials chosen, and project scope. Use our calculator with your specific city to get an instant estimate based on 34 verified work items from our database of 55,719 construction prices.
What work items are included in this estimate?
This BOQ includes 34 work items covering Structural Works, Insulation & Boarding, Windows & Doors, MEP, Finishes. Each item is matched to unit rates from our verified pricing database spanning 9 languages and 36 locations worldwide.
How long does Attic / Loft Conversion take?
Duration depends on project size and complexity. A typical 30 m² project takes approximately 5 weeks. Our calculator generates a detailed Gantt chart with phase-by-phase scheduling.
How accurate is this estimate?
Our estimates use verified construction pricing data with location-specific adjustments (PPP factors). The Monte Carlo simulation provides P10-P90 confidence intervals. For formal budgeting, we recommend a Class 3 AACE estimate with local contractor quotes.
What does a attic / loft conversion include?
Professional estimate for converting a 40 m² attic or loft into habitable space. Covers structural floor reinforcement, dormer or roof window installation, insulation (walls, floor, roof), staircase, plasterboard lining, electrical wiring, heating extension, flooring, and fire safety compliance including fire door and smoke detection.
