Estimate Your Calgary Basement Renovation Cost

Planning a basement renovation or a new legal secondary suite in Calgary? Understanding the potential costs is the first step to making a smart investment in your property. The price for developing a basement can vary significantly based on several key factors, including the total square footage, the number of rooms, the quality of finishes, and the specific requirements to make the suite legal and code-compliant.

Our Basement Renovation Cost Calculator is designed to give you a reliable preliminary estimate to help you budget and plan your project with confidence. Whether you're finishing an undeveloped space or legalizing an existing suite, this tool will provide a valuable starting point.

Please Note: This is an Estimate, Not a Formal Quote

This calculator is designed to give you a general idea of the potential investment for your project and to help with initial budgeting. The final cost can vary based on specific site conditions, material choices, and the full scope of work. Individual quotes may differ. We will always do our best to work within your budget and provide a detailed, transparent quote after a formal consultation.

Factors That Can Influence the Final Cost:

  • Egress Windows: Adding or enlarging windows to meet legal egress requirements.
  • Separate Entrance: The cost of creating a dedicated, separate entrance for the suite.
  • Kitchen & Bathroom Complexity: High-end appliances, custom tile work, and luxury fixtures will increase the cost.
  • HVAC Systems: Requirements for a separate furnace or ventilation system.
  • Permit Fees: The cost for development and building permits from the City of Calgary.
