Attics are an exiting and cost-effective way to add space to your Canberra home. If you’re building a new home or extending attics can transform unused roof space into valuable storage or living area.

Types of attics

• Storage attics
  These are simple to add and budget-friendly. Accessed via a pull-down ladder, they don’t require insulation, windows, or stairs, making them ideal for occasional storage.
• Habitable attics
  Perfect for extra bedrooms or offices, these require proper stairs, insulation, windows, and must meet building codes. While more complex, they offer functional living space without the cost of a full second storey.
