Common questions

Do you manage all the trades (plumber, electrician, tiler) or do I hire them separately?

How long does a typical basement renovation take?
Recent projects completed in 8 to 12 weeks. One reviewer completed an in-law suite with kitchen and separate entrance from mid-November to December 23. They also mention completing a full basement renovation in just under 2 months.
Can you help me get a legal second dwelling unit approved and inspected?
Yes. Their website lists legal second dwelling permits as part of their scope. A recent review details a project with full legal second dwelling permits, inspections, and code compliance for a 600 sq. ft. basement suite with bedroom, kitchen, and washroom. Ryan, their technical lead, manages codes and inspections.
