    I'm blessed with a 70s bungalow with a low pitched roof. Around 20m x 8m. I'd like to create an upside down house, leaving the current layout pretty much as is and create a large open plan space upstairs. The idea is to replace the roof trusses with 45 degree attic trusses or equivalent ridge beam and SIPS panel roof. If the foundations can take it, what are the gotchas over adding a roof to a new build? One issue I thought may be upsetting the current ceilings, but Moduloft seem to be able able to keep these intact. Thoughts greatly appreciated!

    Started getting some quotes for the room in roof attic trusses for the single storey part of my build. I'm using metal web joists in my house, but it suddenly occurred to me is it pointless trying to use them in an attic truss? Only had 1 quote using web joists and it was over 3k more than the rest using normal timber joists (11 and 14K) Do web joists offer other advantages vs straight timber joists apart from being able to run services through them? I don't think I'll need to worry about that with attic trusses, as obviously I can run services around the outer part of the trusses (outside the habitable part). How do they compare with deflection? Cheers Vijay

    Morning, Really need some advice and thoughts on my roof construction. It's not the simplest of roofs and is quite large. There's 2 levels, over to the left is on top of single storey and the middle/right is on top of 2 storey. They are all habitable rooms so were designed as room in roof attic trusses and are designed as a cold roof. The roof is to have 12mm OSB sarking. I guess my question is would you go with this construction method? Is there a better of of building this roof or a better bang for your buck method? I also contacted Thermoroof after spotting it on the latest series of Grand Designs, but they never bothered replying (I've just emailed them again). Is SIPS worth considering for a roof? My guess is it would work out flipping expensive but maybe balance out by the time I've bought all the trusses/insulation/sarking? Are there any other systems worth considering? This is the layout
