Educational Material on Renovation

[hsamby]

Dear Colleagues,



I am looking to renovate my basement and convert into a legal unit. I was wondering if there is any educational material available that would take me from A to Z.



Thank you in advance.

The internet has everything you need to know. Just search "how to basement renovations".

You also need to contact your local building inspector to find out the code requirements for your area.

Are you doing it yourself or hiring a GC?

Thanks for the response.



I am planning to do GC by myself which is why it would be very helpful if I know the process and respective details from start to end.

Turn your unfinished basement into
beautiful, functional living space.

DIY:
The classic method of finishing your basement. You lay flooring,
build walls, create windows, and run electrical wire by yourself.
This work is done "from scratch," using common materials
such as 2x4s, plywood, and flooring, rather than materials specially
made for basement finishing.





Basement Finishing Systems:
Basement systems are newest option. Companies that specialize in
basement finishing use materials geared just for this. For example,
instead of applying drywall as a wall covering, they may use wall
panels made of a solid inorganic material to prevent rotting and
mold.
