What's involved in an attic renovation and what are the costs

Installing a partition wall
One of the possibilities that we offer is placing a partition wall. This allows you to convert the attic into 2 bedrooms for example. The rooms can of course also be used for other purposes.
The most commonly used material for such a partition wall is plasterboard, but other materials are also available. Just as you wish. In general, plasterboard is an excellent material for a partition wall. This is also the cheapest way of creating a partition. It is also possible to have extra wood added to the plasterboard. These are called OSB plates. Another option is a metal stud wall. Here plasterboard is also used but is mounted on a metal frame. A final option is aerated concrete blocks. However, the space must allow for this. In addition, this is an expensive option. On the other hand, it is more soundproof. A professional can often build such a partition in one day. Ideal when you need an extra room in the house quickly.
The price of a partition depends on the number of square metres and the type of material.
In general, you can expect to pay between €50 and €80 per square metre. On average you will then spend between €600 and €1000. The wall can also be plastered. The costs for placing a partition wall vary from €13,- to €25,- euro per square meter.
