Basement Construction in West Hampstead: The Smart Option
Homeowners in the upscale district of West Hampstead are often looking to expand the living space of their home. In many cases, they choose either horizontal or vertical extensions, overlooking the more cost-effective option: building down into the basement.
There are a lot of good reasons to opt for building down into the basement rather than building up or out with an extension, or even moving. Here are just some of those reasons:
- Your home will enjoy a nice bump in valuation.
- The basement is already roughed in, so it requires less construction work.
- Basement construction is less disruptive to your lifestyle than extension work.
- It’s almost always easier to get approval for basement construction.
- You get to stay in the home you love.
- Because it’s below ground, the finished basement will be cheaper to heat and cool.

- Following your approval, we obtain any necessary permissions and permits.
- With the paperwork set, we clear out the basement
- Next, we examine the space for structural or moisture issues.
- The space is prepped and construction begins.
- Walls are framed in first. Followed by plumbing, electrical and HVAC.
