What is basement renovation
Basement renovation is the process of upgrading an unfinished or outdated basement into a functional, finished living space. This can include structural work, insulation, electrical and plumbing upgrades, drywall, flooring, and final finishes.
In Calgary, basement renovations are commonly done to create additional living areas such as family rooms, home offices, gyms, or legal secondary suites that meet local building codes.
A professional basement renovation improves comfort, increases usable square footage, and adds long-term value to the home while ensuring all work complies with permits and safety regulations.

How much does a basement renovation cost in Calgary?
The cost of basement renovation in Calgary typically ranges from $40,000 to $120,000+, depending on size, layout, finishes, and whether you’re adding features like a bathroom, sauna, gym, or legal basement suite. After a site visit, we provide a detailed estimate based on your specific design and requirements.
Do I need permits to finish or renovate my basement in Calgary?
Yes. Most basement developments in Calgary require permits, especially if you’re adding a basement bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, or legal secondary suite. We assist with the permit process to ensure everything meets current Calgary Building Code standards and safety requirements.
How long does a basement development usually take?
A full basement development typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, depending on complexity, inspections, custom features, and material availability. Projects like basement gyms or family rooms finish faster, while saunas, bathrooms, and legal suites take longer due to plumbing and electrical work.
Can you build a legal basement suite (secondary suite)?
Yes. We build fully compliant legal basement suites following all City of Calgary regulations. This includes fire separation, egress windows, ventilation, proper ceiling height, and all required permits. Legal suites are ideal for rental income or extended family living.
What is included in your basement development services?
Our services include framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, painting, bathrooms, fireplaces, custom features, and final finishes. We also design and build premium spaces such as basement gyms, offices, theatre rooms, golf rooms, bars, and saunas — fully customized to your lifestyle.
Do you design the basement, or do I need my own designer?
We provide full design support, including layout planning, 3D concepts, material selection, and custom feature design (fireplace walls, accent walls, bars, etc.). You’re welcome to bring your own designer, but most clients choose our in-house design service for efficiency and accuracy.
Can I renovate my basement in stages or only all at once?
Yes — you can renovate your basement in stages. Many Calgary homeowners start with framing and utilities, then add rooms like a gym, office, or theater later. We help plan the project so each phase is efficient and future-ready.
