How much does it cost to develop a basement in Calgary -

​

This is a question that we at Third Gen builders get asked quite often, and to be honest it depends on few different things.  All that matters is what you want out of your basement. Extra living space, a place for the kids to play, entertainment area, rental income, guest living, or maybe you have an elder parent who you want to keep close and take care off? We take all these criteria and much more into account when planning what type of basement works best for you. Now having that in mind there are a few other questions you need to ask yourself:

​

1. What type of finishes are you looking to have? Are you looking for a high-end basement with all the best finishes such as flooring, millwork, surround system theatre, and wet bar? Or are you looking to just throw some carpet down with basic finishes that match your house but can be replicated on the more affordable side?

​

Being a Calgary resident have you been looking for ways to earn extra income from a different revenue stream? If you own a home with a basement that you aren’t currently using or have no use for anymore you can turn it into a secondary suite.

​

Whether you need the space for your kids that are growing and need their own space, have parents that are getting older and need to downsize, or you just want to earn some extra cash ...  

 

Selling a distressed home can be a little different than your everyday home transaction.

 

When you have a home in good condition, no legal or financial problems, it can be beneficial if you have the time and patience to list on the MLS and Maximise your profit. When selling a distressed home this can make things a little more difficult ...

 

Last Spring we got the opportunity to work out on a fishing lodge on the Haida Gwaii Islands adding on a couple bedrooms and building a 2,500 sq ft deck!

 

This property was only accessible by boat or float plane which made the project into an adventure in itself. This property is used for guided fishing adventures and for the owners own leisure ...

 

Some distressed homeowners who are needing to sell may think that it would be a good idea to fix up the home a bit before they sell.

 

This could be beneficial if you intend to fix the home close to 100% complete. If you’re not able to afford this because of material costs, carrying costs while home sits empty or other reasons it may be better to just sell right away ...
