What they asked for
The basement suite needed an entrance of its own, so the people living downstairs could come and go without passing through the house.
What we built
We excavated along the foundation, cut a new doorway through the concrete wall, formed and poured the stairs and retaining walls, laid drainage and a side walkway, then fitted the door — and finished a small kitchen inside.
How it went
Excavation and drainage first, then the foundation cut, the concrete work, and the door and finishes last.
“A proper entrance changes what a basement can be.”
