I’m guessing that this project could be done much cheaper if no plumbing or bathroom were installed. I have a large unfinished attic that is well-lit with five windows. The house (a two-story bungalow) was built in the 1950s; however, the attic was never finished (it has great headroom and all). Personally, I’d like to turn it into a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and perhaps add a small sitting room or office. I am not an electrician or HVAC specialist, but I’d be willing to hire someone for those tasks while I handle the insulation and drywalling.

I assume the family would need to move out and rent somewhere else during the project, which would have associated costs as well. They changed our bylaw to allow a third floor, I can't imagine being able to complete a project of that scale with us and our things inside the house. Most people are doing tear downs but I like the old floorplan which would no longer be allowed in a new plan. Stuff like 2nd floor kitchens are now banned, so modifying the old house to keep that seems preferable.
