Thinking of turning your basement into an income suite? Building a legal basement suite is a great way to generate extra income. However, it’s important to understand the difference between legal and illegal basement suites, especially when it comes to compliance with local building codes and safety requirements.

On this episode of the Holmes on Homes Podcast, Mike Holmes sits down with Ben Wiley, Founder & Construction Manager at Basement Builder Group, to discuss the ins and outs of building legal basement suites. They discuss the features required for a basement to be considered legal, the importance of obtaining the right permits, and how to avoid common mistakes in the process.

Mike and Ben also talk about how to design a space that attracts quality tenants and maintains its value, plus tips on making the most of a small basement space, meeting egress window requirements, and selecting the best flooring materials. They also cover the challenges of building basement suites in Calgary and what to keep in mind when buying a home that already has a basement you want to convert into a suite.

Ben also shares more about the Basement Builder Group Dealership Program—a unique opportunity for contractors and homebuilders to partner with Basement Builder Group and leverage their proven expertise, strong focus on quality, and commitment to client satisfaction in legal basement suite construction.
