Step 1 — Consultation & Estimate

Every project begins with a free, in-person site visit. We assess your basement in detail, including dimensions, ceiling height, moisture conditions, existing plumbing and electrical systems, and structural elements. We discuss your goals, preferred layout, budget, and timeline, provide practical recommendations, define the preliminary scope of work, and prepare a detailed cost estimate.

Step 2 — Design, Drawings & Permitting

Our design team develops your basement layout, floor plans, lighting concepts, material selections, and OBC-compliant construction drawings. Once the design is finalized, we prepare and coordinate applicable building permit applications and required approvals, respond to technical comments, and manage the permitting process before construction begins.

Step 3 — Construction & Inspection

Construction follows the approved drawings and planned sequence, including demolition, structural work, waterproofing, framing, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, painting, trim, and fixtures. Our project manager coordinates trades, schedules work, provides regular progress updates, conducts quality-control reviews, addresses deficiencies, and coordinates required municipal and ESA inspections.

Step 4 — Project Handover

We complete a detailed final quality review followed by a room-by-room walkthrough with you. Outstanding items are addressed, and applicable permit close-out and warranty documentation is provided. For legal basement suites, we also provide guidance on applicable municipal registration requirements, helping ensure your completed space is ready for its intended use.
