How much do basement conversions cost?
Refresh Renovations Consultants have carried out basement conversions starting from approximately $65,000*. However, there are many factors within a basement conversion that could lead to the project costing much more - things such as council costs, waterproofing, soundproofing and structural considerations (to name a few). Of course, this ballpark cost estimate does not reflect the work involved in excavating and building a new basement. When you work with Refresh, a Renovation Consultant will be able to provide you with a cost estimate before any construction begins. If you are working within a limited budget, a consultant will also be able to offer creative, cost-effective solutions - without sacrificing on the quality of your conversion.
What are some important things to consider when converting a basement?
During the design stage of your conversion, your consultant will walk you through all of the important considerations. This will likely include access to the basement, soundproofing, insulation, plumbing, layout, council requirements and, importantly, your specifications and stylistic preferences. To gain a deeper understanding of the type of works involved within a basement conversion, see this basement conversion Refresh carried out.
