The project
The square footage was already there.
The opportunity was to turn an unfinished lower level into a comfortable, intentional extension of the home.
Explore the completed Tyandaga basement renovation in Burlington—from the work behind the walls to the finished living space and bathroom.
The final reveal features a finished living area, a frameless glass shower, matte-black fixtures, a pebble mosaic shower floor and a floating wood vanity. The original construction photos and videos remain below so you can follow the full transformation.

Built from behind the walls out
What a complete basement build actually involves.
A beautiful reveal is the final layer. The lasting value comes from resolving the envelope, layout, mechanicals and rough-ins before the walls close.
Frame + rough in
Build the layout and coordinate electrical, plumbing and mechanical work so every system is resolved before boarding.
Close + finish
Insulation, air sealing, drywall, flooring, trim, doors, lighting and finish details bring the space together intentionally.
Walk + document
Finish the details, review the completed work with the homeowner and retain documentation of the work that disappears behind the walls.

Chapter one
The starting point
Documenting the existing basement before the new layout and building systems begin to take shape.
Chapter two
Behind the walls
The work homeowners rarely get to see after the basement is finished—layout, rough-ins and close-in preparation.
Chapter three
The rooms take shape
Progress through boarding, finishing and the details that begin to make the lower level feel connected to the home.

What does a finished basement cost?
Most complete family basements in Burlington and Oakville fall around $35,000–$60,000 or more. Bathrooms, wet bars, bedrooms, existing conditions, size and finish level are the biggest cost drivers.
Do I need a building permit?
Permit requirements depend on the actual scope and municipality. 707 plans the work to Ontario Building Code standards, confirms what applies to your address and manages permits where included in the project scope. Electrical work is completed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor with the required ESA notification.
How long does construction take?
Most basement construction runs approximately 3–6+ weeks once the scope is ready to build. Permit and design timelines come before construction and vary by municipality and complexity.
How do you control disruption?
Working hours and site expectations are agreed before construction. We protect the route through your home, keep the site organized, communicate upcoming work and coordinate the same professional trade network throughout the project.
Can you build a legal income suite?
Yes. Legal second units require address-specific zoning review, permits, inspections and municipal registration, plus the applicable fire, sound, egress, electrical, plumbing and mechanical requirements.
