What to Consider Before Your Basement Renovation
Basement renovations in Calgary involve more than just changing the look of a particular space. There are many things to consider before you attempt to finish your basement including:

• Building codes – Pay attention to the building codes that dictate how best to layout a basement. For example, if you are turning your basement into a bedroom, you will need to install a window that is large enough to enter and exit in case of emergency. 
• Water drainage – Repair any water problems before finishing your basement. Additionally make sure your basement has proper drainage especially if you are installing bathrooms, kitchenettes, or other features that use water. 
• Height – Sometimes an unfinished basement has low ceilings or low-hanging ductwork that will cause issues if you plan on making the space more habitable. You will either have to relocate the ductwork or dig down into the floor to increase the distance between it and the ceiling. 
• Future projects – The basement often houses many of the home’s mechanical systems so it’s important to keep future projects in mind. Make sure you don’t have to remove and replace the work you’ve already done to your finished basement in order to get to electrical circuits or supply lines.
