Basement Development

Legal secondary suites and finished basements, assessed for grading and egress before we permit — then built to code and enrolled in warranty coverage like every other SCB Homes project.

Why It's Different Here

Viability is checked before anything is promised

Not every basement can legally become a suite. Surveyed grading data determines window well depth, egress sizing, and ceiling height compliance — so we confirm feasibility against your lot's actual grading before we quote the project, not after permits are submitted.

On multi-family builds, basement suites are included as standard. As a standalone service, we also develop basements for existing single-family homes.

Process

How a basement development project runs

1. Feasibility Review

We assess surveyed grading, egress options, and ceiling height to confirm what's actually possible before quoting.

2. Permitting & Design

Suite layout, egress windows, and separate entrance (where required) are permitted through the municipality before construction begins.

3. Build & Warranty

Construction proceeds under the same quality and scheduling standards as our infill projects, with warranty registration on completion.
