Everything You Need to Know

The cost to build a legal suite in Calgary varies based on the size, existing conditions of your basement, and finishing choices. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after our initial free consultation so you know exactly what to expect. We work within your budget to deliver the best return on investment for your basement suite.

Key requirements include a separate entrance, specific ceiling height (typically 1.95m), egress-sized windows in bedrooms, interconnected smoke/CO detectors, and proper fire separation between the suites (e.g., fire-rated drywall). We handle all aspects of the Calgary secondary suite application process to ensure your project is 100% compliant.

Absolutely. This is one of our core services. We assess your current suite and provide a clear plan and quote for the necessary upgrades to meet the Alberta building code, transforming it into a safe and legal rental unit.

Yes, it is one of the best ways to increase your rental income and add significant value to your home. A legal "mortgage helper" basement suite can generate consistent monthly cash flow, improve your property's resale value, and attract higher-quality tenants who seek safe, compliant housing.

A typical basement development project can take anywhere from 8 to 14 weeks, depending on the scope and permit approval times. We provide a detailed project timeline once the design is finalized.
