analysis: Lofty Ideas: How Much Does It Cost to Build a Loft?

What kind of loft are you going to build?

Notes:

• Generally speaking, you can build a loft for anywhere from about $2,000 all the way up to well over $100,000 if you want. It all depends on how you choose to go about doing it and how much the conversion costs are.
• As we just mentioned a few moments ago, there are all kinds of different lofts that you can build in your home. The kind of loft that you choose is going to play a huge part in its final cost.
• If you don’t want to spend a small fortune on a loft and only plan to use it for storage, putting down loft boarding in your attic is probably your best bet. It’ll allow you to enjoy the benefits of loft boarding and lofts in general without spending a ton of money.
• If, on the other hand, you don’t mind spending a little bit of money and have the space to do it, converting an attic in a master suite might be a great option. But it’s going to end up costing you dearly and force you to live through a pretty extensive renovation.
• Regardless of which way you decide to go, the answer to the question, "How much does it cost to build a loft?", should still be lower than the answer to the question, "How much does an addition cost?" But more advanced lofts can begin to get pricy if you’re not careful.

How big is the loft going to be?

Notes:

• The kind of loft that you build in your home isn’t going to be the only thing that determines its cost. The size of it is also going to affect the price that you’ll end up paying for it.
• If you want to create a loft that’s just big enough to hold a bed for a child’s bedroom, that might not cost you as much money as you might think. But if you want to build a loft that’s big enough to house an entire master suite, that’s a much different story.
• You might be able to make the construction of a loft fit into your budget by tinkering with the size of it.
