The Top 6 Factors That Drive Cost
Understanding these key elements will help us tailor your project to your budget and vision.
1
Layout and Age Of Home
Basements are an extension of the family home and the hub of family play and engagement. Sometimes, it’s necessary to move plumbing or structural elements to achieve a desired function. This can drive cost. Age of home, water intrusion, radon, and uneven concrete can also add to your budget.

Basement Features
If you end up finishing your basement in the future, a custom bar can make turn your basement into an entertainment space. Custom cabinets, wet bars, backsplashes, and appliances will affect cost. A fireplace is a perfect way to make your basement the coziest space in the house. You’ll want to account for the cost of stone, a mantel, a gas line, and power when budgeting.

Specialty Rooms
If you end up finishing your basement in the future, our team can incorporate unique rooms — wine cellars, home gyms, crafting rooms, and more — into your basement project. This design will be unique to you and your vision. Cost for these specialty spaces depend on the level of customization, which includes materials, equipment, finishes, plumbing, electrical, and more.
4
Bathrooms
Adding a bathroom to your basement can make the space feel more convenient, complete, and even luxurious. Bathrooms require water and electricity, and can certainly add to the cost of your project. It’s important to note the extent of plumbing you currently have in your basement, as this can affect cost.
5
Electrical and Appliances
Appliances — like kegerators, pizza ovens, and microwaves — will impress your guests and create more convenience in your basement. An often-overlooked cost is that of the hidden mechanical updates required to power your new appliances. Your FBC team is here to help you determine those costs.
6
Egress Windows & Code Compliance
Two points of egress is a code requirement in all basements and can impact the project cost if it doesn’t already exist. Egress windows are operable windows that accomodates a safe exit in the case of an emergency. Egress windows also provide added natural light and ventilation, which allow a space to feel more comfortable.
