Initial Planning and Design
01. Initial Consultation
Our basement renovation journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we help you discover your unique vision for the space—be it a living space, a home theater, a game room, a wet bar, or simply an extra bedroom.
During this consultation, our expert carefully assesses every nook and cranny, taking precise measurements and considering the structural elements that will harmoniously blend into the design.
02. Design and Budget Planning
Armed with a clear understanding of your desires, our skilled designer will craft a scaled floor plan that vividly captures your dream basement. Accompanying this visual representation is a detailed cost proposal outlining every construction phase and optional upgrades.Â
We encourage your feedback to ensure the plan aligns flawlessly with your expectations.
03. Paperwork
Once the design is finalized to your satisfaction, we’ll send in the agreement that outlines all costs, payment schedules, and other crucial details.
04. Permit Acquisition
Before the physical transformation can commence, our experienced general contractor will navigate the permitting process by submitting a thorough application to your local governing authority.Â
While approval timelines may vary, rest assured that we will keep you informed every step of the way.
​​Core Construction Activities
05. Construction Begins
With permits secured, we'd be ready to transform your basement physically. All we'd like you to do is brace yourself for an orchestrated flurry of activity as our skilled tradespeople demonstrate their expertise!
