I was wondering if anyone on the forum has experience with adding an extra floor to an already existing single-story house? I have a single-story house, type Svenska hem, with an area of 75 sqm and am wondering if anyone has raised the roof and built an additional floor? Companies? Is it possible to carry out? Grateful for ideas and thoughts.
...and IF you are allowed to raise the house according to the zoning plan, which the municipality can assist you with, then you must begin to investigate if the house can withstand an increased load. You must thus examine how the house is founded and how the frame is constructed. A structural engineer can help you with load calculations.
We have added a floor to our house, see www.fasting65.se

Hello!
Have you made any progress? We have a building permit for exactly what you want to do. When we requested quotes for roof trusses, we included the house design, which was quite detailed, and that way we got an initial idea of whether everything would work. We've also had a consultant do some calculations, but they billed a lot.
This company prefabricates roof extensions.
