The last step is often the hardest one to take. But it’s also the most rewarding. Finishing the last step means you’re complete, whole —
and in the case of your basement — home.
An unfinished basement isn’t just a level of your house that’s out of sight and out of mind. It’s another level of living waiting to happen. It’s full of potential to create those final spaces; a games room, teen retreat, man cave, art studio, or the best laundry room ever.
Those stairs to your basement lead to possibility. The best part? You’re almost there. All you have to do now is take the last step.
The first step is an on-site meeting to discuss your vision and priorities for your basement development. We’ll explain what we do, our design packages and how the process works.
Step two: we provide a budget and scope of work based on your needs. We send an estimate on Buildbook, our project management software platform. Here, you'll also be able to see a range of selections that fit your budget.
Step three is the final confirmation of design, selections and budget. At this point, we sign the contract, take a deposit and set up a schedule.
Step four turns your vision into reality. On average, construction takes between two to three months. At any time, you can access Buildbook to look at selections, scheduling, budget updates, change orders and more. We maintain close communication with you throughout the entire process.
The last step is the most exciting: stepping into your brand-new basement. We do a final walkthrough prior to possession; then the space is officially yours to enjoy.
TRUST: We’re not another faceless company. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships and standing behind our work. We’re proud to share who we are, how we partner with our clients and what you can expect — every step of the way.
TECHNOLOGY: We ensure you have all the information about your renovation at your fingertips. Our integrated project management platform, Buildbook, gives you real-time, anytime access to your project status and schedule. You can communicate and collaborate with us too. No guesswork, no feeling like you’re on the outside looking in. It's your home, and you’re part of the project.
TRANSPARENCY: Contractors and construction companies don't have the best rap. That’s why our mission is to be BETTER with an easy, clear and honest process. It starts with authentic, face-to-face relationships. From there, we keep you informed with digital accessibility and upfront quotes, timelines and information about contractors. Because when it comes to your home, you deserve the comfort of trust.
TRUE BLUE APPROACH: We’re a company that cares deeply both on and off-site. When you work with us, you're part of something better. Here's how:
We divert project waste from the landfill by recycling, re-purposing, and re-storing, reducing our carbon emissions by about 250 kg per basement development.
We built this company from the ground up and are proud to invest in others who want to do the same. That's why we've created the BETTER GRANT. It’s a local source of funding awarded to a self-employed entrepreneur in the community.
Our Basic Basement in-house design package comes with a variety of selections, from the essentials to the finishing touches. We include everything to finish your basement so it’s ready for possession.
This package includes everything Basic, plus specific add on’s and upgrades. If there’s something you’ve always wanted in your home, this is for you. Add custom items and selections to make your basement Better.
