In this clip, I sit down with expert basement renovator, Ben Wiley from Calgary. We discuss the complexities of creating legal basement apartments, covering the necessary permits, costs, design considerations, and the impact of regulations. We also discuss the importance of understanding local codes, the financial implications of renovations, and the evolving attitudes towards secondary suites in residential neighborhoods. What are some of the issues (like asbestos) that you need to budget for before renovating your basement?
