8 Weeks.
This is how long it takes for us to develop the average basement from the first day of construction to move in ready. We do not sacrifice quality to speed up the process.
LEGAL BASEMENT SUITES
Converting your basement into a suite for rental purposes is an excellent avenue for generating revenue. While we wish it were an easier and more cost-effective process, the reality is quite different. Developing a legal basement suite involves additional measures that must meet the requirements set by the Town of Cochrane and the Alberta Building Code. Examples of these measures include proper zoning, provision of parking spaces, installing a separate heat source from the rest of your house, ensuring a smoke tight barrier throughout the entire basement, including the mechanical room, implementing noise barrier measures, and more. These additional requirements are in place to ensure the safety of both parties involved. Therefore, although it demands extra effort and a greater investment, we firmly believe that the results justify the process.
Customized Solutions
We recognize the importance of tailoring our approach to your unique property. Our team offers solutions that address your property's specific layout, features, and potential. From maximizing space utilization to ensuring optimal privacy and comfort, we work diligently to create basement suites that are not only legally compliant but also highly attractive to potential tenants.

The Value of Expertise
Navigating the intricacies of a basement development requires expert knowledge and experience. Our team at Allan Built Renovations is well-versed in the specific requirements of the Town of Cochrane and the Alberta Building Code. We understand that every detail matters when it comes to creating a safe, functional, and appealing space for you and your family.
The Benefits of Developing your Basement
-
Increased living space: Developing your basement can add significant living space to your home, which can be used for a variety of purposes such as a family room, a home theatre, a guest room, or an extra bedroom. This added living space can also improve your quality of life and increase your home's value.
-
Improve home value: Developing your basement can significantly increase the value of your home. According to a survey by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, finished basements can add up to 16.5% of a home's total value. This can be a great investment if you plan to sell your home in the future.
-
Increased storage: Basements are often used for storage, but an unfinished basement may not be fully utilized. By developing your basement, you can add more storage space for your belongings and free up space in other areas of your home.
-
Additional income: If you develop your basement into a separate living space with a private entrance, you can potentially rent it out for additional income. This can be a great way to offset the cost of the renovation and provide a source of passive income.
-
Flexibility: Developing your basement can provide you with more flexibility in how you use your home. You can create a space for hobbies, exercise, or work, which can improve your quality of life and increase your productivity.
