    The cost will vary from place to place. Best thing is to get someone to draw up a rough plan of it and get a couple of estimates.

    You will need planning if you are more than 4 metres high to the apex of the roof which in your case I would think will be in the region of 5.00 metres

    I have built a 8.6m by 6.6m one, which gives me 7m x 3.5m approx (allowing for stairwell) usable space in the attic. Price though would totally depend on finish. Total ridge height 6.5m, so planning is required.

    Likewise, planning would be required considering the height. On advantage is that when the walls are up you can install joists and floor with plywood, That makes for a good platform for rafters/roofing. Well worth persuing considering the amount ao addition space available and not a huge additional cost.
