Hello everyone,
I just registered because I have a question.
We are currently deep in the planning phase for our single-family house and now we are wondering whether to build two full stories or to have a knee wall of 1.90 cm (0.75 inches) upstairs.
Our contractor said it would be cheaper with two full stories since the roof frame wouldn’t need insulation and the ceilings on the first floor wouldn’t have to be lowered.
Does anyone have experience with which option is more cost-effective?
From a practical point of view, two full stories would be better.
Best regards, JuliaHa

Yes, it’s basically a barn.
The living room and kitchen have a clear ceiling height of 4.7 m (15 ft 5 in), and the rest is 2.65 m (8 ft 8 in) clear height finished floor level.
I am 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in) tall and wanted headroom. Just barely managed it
