D20/D26 · Premium Landed
Attic & Loft Conversion in Thomson, Singapore
Most landed houses in Singapore have space under the roof doing nothing but trapping heat. Done properly, it becomes a bedroom, a study or a family room, with a real staircase, insulation that copes with the afternoon sun, and daylight from a skylight or dormer. Attic work needs approval, so we handle the design, the paperwork and the build, and one company answers for all of it. We serve homeowners across Thomson (D20/D26): Stretches from Upper Thomson through Springleaf and Lentor: Singapore's fastest-growing landed search corridor on the back of new MRT access.

Common Questions
Attic & Loft Conversion in Thomson: FAQ
How much does an attic conversion cost in Singapore?
The cost depends on how much work your existing roof needs, so we price the actual job after a free site visit. The big drivers are whether you stay inside the current roof shape or add dormers, the floor and insulation build-up, the staircase, and whether you want a bathroom or aircon up there. The qualified person's fee and the submission are part of it too. Two attics the same size can land at very different prices.
Do I need URA or BCA approval for an attic conversion?
Yes, an attic conversion in a landed house needs approval before work starts. Only a qualified person can prepare and file the submission, and we bring that person in, so you are not the one chasing. How long the sign-off takes is for the authorities to decide, not us, so we build it into the schedule rather than promise you a date.
How long does an attic conversion take?
It depends on how much of the roof changes, plus the approval period before any of it. A conversion inside the existing roof shell is the quicker kind of job. Adding dormers or changing the roof structure takes longer. The approval runs on the authorities' clock, not ours, so we give you a real schedule once the design is settled instead of a confident number on day one.
How much headroom do I need for a usable attic?
Enough to stand and move around comfortably, and under a pitched roof that means the usable area is smaller than the floor area. The low space near the eaves is better used for storage or built-ins. We measure the ridge height and the pitch at the site visit and show you the real usable footprint before you commit to anything. A dormer can add full standing height where the plan needs it, subject to approval.
Does an attic count towards my allowable floor area?
It depends on how the attic is designed and on the rules that apply to your plot and roof form, which differ between a terrace, a semi-detached and a bungalow. It is the first thing the qualified person checks, before any design work starts. That way you are not paying to design a room that cannot be approved.
Will an attic room be too hot to use?
Not if the heat is dealt with in the build-up, and that is the main design job in a Singapore attic. The room sits right under the roof, so we put insulation into the roof or ceiling, add a reflective layer under the roof covering, vent the roof space where the construction allows it, and size the aircon for the room. A skylight gets performance glass, and an openable one lets the hot air out.
