Someone:
My 8 year old house has ~2.4m/95" ceilings....

Standard here (Newfoundland) last 50 years or so, has been
generally 96 inches. i.e. eight foot plasterboard sheets
vertically or two four foot sheets horizontally. Mainly wood
frame.
Newer houses now tend to be more elaborate often with a 'sunken'
living room or higher ceilings.
Usually only seen lower ceilings in older rural (fishing village)
houses and in some factory built houses designed to be shipped
and used 'up north' where the ceiling were six inches lower,
there were fewer inside doors and houses were smaller in order to
conserve heating requirements.
Cheers. Terry.
