Hello
I'm dabbling with the thought of trying to convert the large attic of my 1990s bungalow into living accommodation, and have come across this new technology:

Basically, they remove the bottom three rows of tiles, lay telescopic steel beams on top of the external walls, and remove the trusses. The beams provide both roof and floor support and can work on any roof pitch.
Could some of the loft conversion experts on here have a look and give their opinion?
It seems like an ideal route for me as it does not rely on any internal support -- and my internal walls are all stud partition.
From what I understand, this system is fairly new, and therefore not widely known about.
