[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 2592988, member: 4333"] A project like this was just completed at my house. The space was always designed to become rooms but just wasn't done during the initial construction of the house five years ago. Given your described conditions, I'd say early involvement by a designer, contractor, and mechanical contractor is going to be critical to controlling costs. Problems were aplenty, from unreliable contractors to me creating a new skylight in the first floor kitchen, resulting in a broken shoulder blade, surgery and five months of physical therapy. As to the overall project and construction issues, you need to give a careful eye to the roof line which will then define your ceiling lines. There is potential for significant costs there as well as issues relating to insulation, electrical service, & HVAC. [/QUOTE]
