Code-compliant basement bedrooms with proper egress
A basement bedroom is more than four walls and a door. To meet code, the room needs an egress window of the right size, smoke and CO detection, framing, electrical, and finishes that work together. We plan all of that and handle the build.
Whether you are adding a bedroom for kids, a guest room, or part of an in-law suite, the goal is a safe, comfortable, finished bedroom that can legally be used as one.

Basement Bedroom Addition Questions in Ottawa
Answers to common questions Ottawa homeowners ask before adding a basement bedroom.
Do basement bedrooms need an egress window?
Yes. To meet code, basement bedrooms must have an egress window of the right size and accessibility, with a window well where applicable.
Do basement bedrooms need permits?
Yes. Adding a bedroom typically requires permits for framing, electrical, window installation, and other work. We help confirm what is required.
Can you install a new egress window?
Yes. We cut the foundation opening, install the new window, build the well where required, and waterproof properly so the basement stays dry.
Will smoke and CO detection be added?
Yes. Hardwired smoke alarms and CO detectors are part of code-compliant basement bedrooms and are added during the renovation.
