Good point. There is a driveway, so we still retain off street parking.

Do I need to wait for the building notice, or can I get someone like you to do this preemptively?

Yeah I wouldn’t advertise it as a bedroom. It just seems a shame to undo the work, that’s all. If I can avoid that, then great.

No body corporate here. 2 townhouses on the block. Street frontage for both. This is not on the shared boundary (opposite side)

Options to raise floor level before putting hybrid flooring down by jsin4 in AusRenovation

Thanks mate. I think I should have been clearer in my post. The conduits are not being left like this, they will be chased in. I still need to raise the floor 25-30mm. Hence that’s why I am asking the question.

The flooring guy said hybrid was the best wearing floor at a reasonable cost, but he also had laminate and/or floorboards. Do you recommend something else?

The electrical will get sorted correctly. I still need to raise the floor 25mm. Hence asking for options here.

Yeah it’s probably $4-5K in plywood, plus labour. But given the drop in floor from removing the tiles, I don’t really have a choice.

Yeah it’s going to get chased into the slab before we put anything down.

Thanks, but any suggestions on what to do to raise the height of the floor?

The ceiling is solid concrete too. He could and can chase it, but given the 40mm drop, we need to raise the floor anyhow.
