A staple of many renovations, basement and in-law suites are often the financial backbone of many projects we're involved with. Most common in the City of Vancouver, legal basement suites have a range of different requirements often including (but not limited to) hardwired smoke detectors, a minimum number of wall plugs, minimum headroom limitations, provisions for life safety, accessibility and emergency egress windows in every bedroom are just some of the most common.
The process of obtaining a basement suite begins by assessing your space, current foundation condition and your local municipal zoning by-laws and requirements. A simple call to your city building department can lead you to the latter of these answers however, an assessment of the space and the condition of the structure should be left to someone with considerable experience adapting wood frame construction.
