The Process – Walkout Basement Construction

The process of building a basement walkout can vary based on your property’s specifics, location, and needs. Here’s an example of how a typical basement walkout construction might go:

Stage1. Consultation and Planning:

We begin by discussing your goals and requirements for the basement walkout, considering factors like location, design preferences, and budget.

Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your basement layout, foundation structure, and local building codes to develop a customized plan.

Stage 2. Design and Permitting:

Our skilled designers create detailed plans for the walkout, including the placement of doors, windows, stairs, and any additional features.

We handle the permitting process, obtaining all necessary approvals and ensuring compliance with building regulations and safety standards

Stage 3. Excavation & Demolition:

Once you have the necessary permits, we’ll prepare for construction. We may use an excavator or do manual excavation work, form footings, and get approval from the City or an engineer before pouring the footings.

Stage 4: Block Work:

After the footings have time to cure, we’ll lay new concrete block work.

Stage 5: Waterproofing & Parging:

Multiple layers of waterproofing membrane will be applied to prevent moisture from getting into the walls.

Stage 6 : Drainage System Installation:

We’ll install weeping tiles and ensure they stay clear of debris. If needed, we can also install a sump pump.

Stage7: Concrete Stairs & Landing:

Once prep work is done, we’ll pour concrete stairs and a landing for the walkout.

Stage 8: Finishing Touches:

We’ll add handrails, install basement door openings, and do landscaping or build retaining walls as needed to complete the look of your basement walkout.

Stage 9: Quality Assurance and Customer Satisfaction:

Our experienced craftsmen pay attention to detail and adhere to high-quality standards throughout the construction process.

We prioritize customer satisfaction, ensuring that the finished basement walkout not only meets but exceeds your expectations in terms of functionality, aesthetics, and durability.
