Help!
We are going to expand a bit in our living room, and then build a new room at the far end of the existing living room.
We will do everything! Replace the ceiling, move walls, plaster, install underfloor heating, new flooring on top of that.
But how on earth should one start? Some say you should start from the top, i.e., ceiling first and floor last, but what do you do with the existing floor, it would end up under the new plasterboards?
How would you have done it?

I had torn everything down and started by building the subfloor after that, so that it is possible to walk on. Then continue with the sheet materials in the walls and ceiling, and of course the electricity.
To clarify a bit, we will completely remove the floor. We plan to install underfloor heating and therefore also new floor chipboard. We intend to have waterborne heating, and the boards are grooved. The problem is that we cannot have grooved boards "open" while we are working on plastering, changing the ceiling, etc.
But what will you have on top of the underfloor heating?
The purpose of saving the floor for last is to avoid damaging it during the construction period. But are you really going to have the "finish floor" directly on top of the underfloor heating? No floor gypsum or anything like that first..?
