Most attic conversions don’t require planning permission as they usually fall under exempt development and aren’t classified as habitable accommodation due to height restrictions.
However, planning permission is needed if you're adding a dormer window, installing Velux windows at the front, or making structural changes beyond permitted development. We’ll guide you through the process to ensure your attic conversion meets all Irish building regulations.
Hiring an architect is optional, but having detailed plans can be beneficial. Our team can collaborate with your architect or guide you through the planning phase if you haven’t hired one, ensuring your conversion meets both aesthetic and structural needs.
