Our Airdrie Basement Development Process - How It Works
Pre-build
Laying out the design and development process from the beginning ensures that your basement development process can unfold comfortably and stress-free.
e We take a transparent approach to building, which allows our clients to feel at ease and relaxed as your basement undergoes development.
The first phone call
Upon first contacting our Airdrie basement developers, we will begin to discuss your wants and needs for your new basement while keeping in mind the budget you are looking to work within.
We come to you
Our expert Airdrie basement developers will do an in-site review of the space, ensuring that we can determine a 100% adequate design and layout of your space. This includes measurements, scale drawings, and an accurate estimate of the project costs.
Final meeting
Once the proposal is accepted, we return to your home and review the entire all the drawings and estimates to ensure each participating party member agrees on the project's scope and necessary changes may be made well before development begins.
The Cost of Basement Development in Airdrie
There is no one price for basement developments in Airdrie. Consider the many basement styles and sizes in Airdrie, as well as the varied soils that can affect drainage or the quality of materials used for initial construction. Every basement is different and needs to be planned individually.
According to our most recent market research (summaries can be found in our updated developments cost guide for Calgary and Area), basement developments are common. Most homeowners will spend between $45,000 and $120,000. The reason this wide range is so important is that there are many factors to consider when deciding how much a basement development will cost such as:
How is your basement currently rated? It is possible to save money on developments if the basement is not finished.
Are the developments required to comply with regulations and bylaws? Many municipal guidelines and bylaws will affect how spaces will be put together. These include load-bearing limits to material quality, ceiling height, and ceiling height. The final investment will reflect the additional work required to comply with these codes and bylaws.
How will you use the space? Do you want to create a family space, home gym, or state-of-the art theatre? Although your vision is possible, technical knowledge and custom designs will play a key role in final costs.
What are the features you want for your space? A basement may have a laundry area or kitchenette, a luxurious bathroom with heated floors. Costs will be affected by the features you select, the materials you like, and how much customization you need.
Basement Suites can provide secondary income but must be coded and adhere to the specific City of Calgary regulations. Expert, licensed contractors can make sure that all applicable bylaws are adhered to, and that available space is maximized for both property owner and tenant.
Another item that can add cost is the fireplace. Gas fireplaces cost around $6000, including gas lines, venting permits, and installation. It is possible to spend anywhere from $8000 to $10,000 on a gas fireplace once you have finished decorating it with a mantle, stone, tile, or any other accessories.
Basements in older homes may present more problems and cost than basements in newer homes. Older homes can be troubled by poor electrical and plumbing, inadequate insulation, and HVAC problems.
These are just some of the questions homeowners should ask when considering basement developments in Calgary. These questions will assist you in the most crucial step of your development process: finding the right company to work with you and your family.
