About basement excavation
More height, more life
Many older homes have basements with low ceilings that serve only as storage. By lowering the floor by 60–70 cm, the basement can become a living room, a home office, a guest room or a bathroom.
The process in five steps
- Removing the existing floor
- Excavating to the new depth
- Underpinning the foundation to secure stability
- A new insulated basement floor with radon barrier and underfloor heating
- Preparing for the work that follows
Timeline and cost
Projects typically take 6–12 weeks. The price depends on the type of construction, the ground conditions and the installations you want. We always recommend an individual assessment.
