It always pays to think ahead, and whatever you want to use your basement space for, we can help you to work out the best way for you to get your desired results.
 
New Build?
Many people who employ our basement design and planning service are in the midst of a new build and wish to install a basement as part of it. This is the most straightforward way to have a basement in your property, but it isn’t the only option. You can also install a basement in an older property, under the right circumstances, and you’ll want to undergo meticulous planning and design if that’s your desire.  
 
Layout
Basements often have structural constraints, physical limitations that you’ll have to work around to get the most out of the space. This isn’t like undergoing renovations above ground, you can’t just move a wall out further or add a new floor – adding space to a basement is often impractical, or prohibitively expensive. Low ceilings, smaller windows, pipes and technical equipment, these are all considerations for you. Through careful planning, we can limit the impact these have on your space, and even use them as an advantage – as a way to accentuate the look and flow of the basement. Consider the layout as a way to manage activities and uses, but think carefully about how that might work with the structural limitations in place.  
 
Room Concepts
The idea of basement renovation has become so popular in recent years because it brings such potential into your home. Most people have some limitations in the rest of their building that would be solved by another room, whether that’s an extra living space, more storage, or a workspace. Depending on the size of your basement, you can have multiple uses, and we can help you design ways to get the most out of the area. Want an office space? You’ll need to think about electrical outlets, internet capabilities, space for storage. A guest suite? Then you might want to prioritise plumbing and HVAC utilities. The possibilities are endless.
 
Features & Renovation
Basement design and planning should lay the foundations for a wonderful, new space for your home. Do you want a basement apartment? Then the design of the space should reflect the needs of that room-type. We can work with you to plan all the different features you’ll want present, and give suggestions on flooring, lighting, storage, furnishings, and more. You’ll be entirely well looked-after when you choose Kitchener Basement Contractors.
