Day 0: Taking Measurements on Site

By | October 5, 2021

Today marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in my home renovation journey – the commencement of site dimensions for my loft conversion project. As I eagerly await the transformation of my loft space into a functional and stylish living area, the importance of accurate measurements cannot be overstated.

In preparation for the upcoming construction, my builders arrived at my flat today to conduct live site dimensions. While architectural drawings provide a roadmap for the project, the precision required for beam sizes and structural elements necessitates on-site measurements. It’s a critical step that ensures the project progresses smoothly and according to plan.

With meticulous attention to detail, my builders carefully assessed the existing attic and first-floor plans. Despite initial concerns about ceiling height, we discovered that the space boasts over 2.5 meters of vertical clearance – a pleasant surprise that bodes well for the loft conversion’s feasibility and comfort.

Throughout the process, I couldn’t help but reflect on the importance of adhering to regulatory standards. The Planning Portal’s stipulation of a minimum 2.2-meter height for loft conversions serves as a reminder of the need to meet both aesthetic and practical requirements.

Here’s how my loft space is looking at the moment…

As the day drew to a close, I found myself filled with anticipation for the journey ahead. From the initial measurements to the final touches of interior design, every step of this project promises to be an adventure in craftsmanship and creativity.

Join me as I document the progress of my loft conversion project, sharing insights, challenges and triumphs along the way. Together, let’s witness the transformation of a mere blueprint into a space filled with endless possibilities.
