Hi all
we use an "Alternative Solution" process defined under the current Building Code of Australia - to be able to model and demonstrate that rooms with less than 2.4m ceiling height can be approved as bedrooms/habitable use - often without any need to physically alter the building (no raising, no excavating down etc).
Our clientelle base benefiting the most from this service are investors buying older 2 storey homes with lower level ceilings around 2-2.4m. Good option to convert these lower levels into additional bedrooms and selling a 2-3 bedder off as a 5 or 6 bedder with very little cost outlays. The increase to the market value of the house with the extra bedrooms is usually quite high.
