Second story on federation home

Hi all, my first post. I'm in the process of buying a single story federation style house in mount lawley WA that is in dyer need of some love. For a start the main living area and kitchen has a maximum ceiling height of 2.1 meters and I'm 195cm tall so there is only 15cm from the top of my noggin to the ceiling. So first things first that needs to be raised. My idea is to add a second story above the kitchen and living area and I want to keep it in character with the style of the house. Has anyone had experience with federation additions, and advice on costs, builders, tips, pitfalls etc?
