Let's answer these questions one at a time.
What is your lot like? Does it have enough slope to obtain full daylight windows and possibly a door for a full walkout? How much excavation has to be done to make the lot work for the basement? How high/low do your local materials and labor costs run? Is your area of the country feasible for digging a basement?
There are many factors to consider when trying to decide to build up or out versus down for a basement. Is it cheaper to build a ranch home with a finished basement or a 2-story home? Pools, ponds, gardens patios and hot tubs are just a few of the many options we see our customers using this outdoor space for. Typically, the walkout lower level opens onto some kind of patio where an additional living space has been set up. The advantage of having a walkout basement is the outside space that becomes usable by the patio doors. The lot for a walkout basement must also be sloped but to a larger degree than a lot for a daylight basement. What is a walkout basement?Ī walkout basement is similar to a daylight basement in that part of the basement is above ground, but there is room for full-sized windows AND a patio door. The lot must slope enough for the windows to be fully exposed and within regulation. The portion of the basement that is completely underground in a daylight basement is considered the actual basement. What is a daylight basement?Ī daylight basement is a basement of a home where part of the lower level is above ground and is able to accommodate full-size windows. Our LL plans will have a finished basement plan included in the set and also included in the price listed on our website. Just call us at 1-80 to discuss any plan. Having said that, we can easily modify any of our plans to include a walkout basement, no matter what the style is, if you have a sloping lot that allows for it. We differentiate our walkout basement plans with an LL at the end of the plan number. How can I tell which of your plans have a finished, walkout basement?
