Adding a floor when you already have Roof AC

[AwR]

So if I have a building with 8 floors, the 8th being where the roof AC/Heat is, if I want to add another floor of offices, do I have to delete my top floor and rebuild it every time I want to add a floor? or is there a way to "insert" a floor, excel-style?

I don't think you can "insert" floors.
But you can add a room on ground level with the roof AC as an "appendix" to your building, so you won't need to touch it if you put more levels on the main building.
Basically like a technical room of sorts.

Genius.

When I build custom buildings, I create blueprints of the floors.
Making sure those blueprints have common furniture and fire protection.
Then when I build the structure if I want to add a floor, I can just select the entire "Utilities Floor" (HVAC and Battery backups)
Then you either save this as a blueprint if you haven't yet, or if you have, delete it.

Add in the floor you need, like programming rooms, or a kitchen/dining room/meeting rooms

Then add the "Utilities Floor" on top of that

NOTE>>> This is only really possible once you are successful, but this is assume or you owuldn't be building new buildings!

Yeah I've been using this method previously, but now I have a small auxiliary building at ground level doing the job so I'm free to have the insanely pretentious rooftop glass-octagon office!

With the prevalence of the burglars in this game I have only two entries into the buildings.
One is an adjacent 8x8 x 5 floors + 3 story parking structure. I build a catwalk connecting to the main building, with a security station in the main building.
I have a security station on the 5th floor of the Parking Structure and another on the front door.

With only these two entry ways it also makes cleaning easier
