Okotoks Basement Development – How to Choose Your Design
A basement is a space that can be transformed to meet your needs. For example, you may not have enough living space or need an additional bedroom or playroom for your kids. The layout of the spaces can vary depending on the needs of the homeowners.
There are several design types for basements in Okotoks, but one of the most popular ones is a walkout basement. This is because it has more natural light than other types. It also has multi-functional space because it allows for multiple openings such as windows, doors, and even staircases that you can use simultaneously for at least two purposes. Basements come in all shapes and sizes. Most basements are the size of the home above them. However, we have also seen ½ basements that only run under one side of the home.
When we look at your design, we want to ensure that you are meeting all the necessary codes for what the rooms will be used for as well.

Okotoks Basement Development - What You Need to Know
The town of Okotoks, Alberta, has seen rapid growth in the past decade. This has led to an increase in the demand for new homes and commercial buildings. A popular building style is that of a basement suite. The first basement suite was created by moving a garage underground and adding a windowless room on top of it with its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. These suites are great additions to any property as they provide more living space on their own or allow you to rent out your unused space for quick income (e.g., Airbnb).
Basement suites are becoming more popular in Okotoks as people are looking to rent affordable places, and visitors are discovering how beautiful of a place Okotoks is. A rentable space would be perfect for additional income without a whole lot of effort.
However, this can also somewhat limit the flexibility of the basement development layout, unless the upper structure is re-designed to accommodate a client’s requirements.
Once the load bearing walls and beam structures have been determined for “holding-up” the main structure, then all other basement development dividing walls are somewhat easy to layout, with the exception of working around mechanical work.
For new home builds the basement development design pricing is a lot less expensive than main floor design cost because most of the design work is already considered in the main structural drawings.
