My goal is to add 2 dormers out of the attic for livable space (master bed/bath) approx 325 sq feet total , with the dormers adding maybe 100 sq feet.
House was built in 1905, stacked sandstone foundation, limited crawlspace (but does have HVAC under the floors, so someone got under there).
Currently no obvious foundation issues, no sagging or tilt.
House is Aprox 1100 sq feet, 1 story.
Obviously too many variable to get specific without a structural engineer...but wondering what opinions the foundation experts can offer. Are there any solutions? Rough estimates?
Thanks in advance!
Current situation: joists sitting on stacked sandstone
