I am having a house with 9 and half feet ceiling height in my living hall. My wiring contractor since wanting to do simple work, has prepared the wiring for plaster ceiling and say that's my only solution. He asked for 6 inches to be lowered. Meaning I am still left with 9 ft
Question: how much height is a standard size takes, and is 9ft with ceiling fan a nice thing, surely I can no longer throw my kids up!

My condo now is 9ft height.
I think not suitable to put fans if below 9ft and the whole house will looks narrow as well.
9 ft from bottom till the top is acceptable, i am 174cm tall, when I hold my hands up, I still have 1 feet tall before touching the center of the fans.
So fans normally takes up bout 1.5 feets

You can always do plaster ceiling only at each corner of the ceiling, so your fans still installed at the height of 9.5 ft.
But regarding the wiring stuff, you should negotiate with contractor right before they start re-wiring all the wires.

that's is exactly what I have in my mind, I will still conceal a layer of plaster ceiling 2" down in middle just to conceal all the wiring then I will use hanging light instead of downlight!
