Yes. Any basement project that involves new bedrooms, plumbing, or electrical work requires a building permit, and depending on your land use district, potentially a development permit as well. Reborn manages the full permit application and compliance process as part of every project.
A basement development starts from raw, unfinished concrete and builds out a fully functional living space from scratch. A basement renovation works with an existing finished basement to update the layout, finishes, or functionality. The distinction matters because each follows a different permit path and has different structural requirements.
Most basement projects span several months from initial design to final walkthrough. The design and architectural phase typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, permit approvals through the City of Calgary can take 8 to 12 weeks, and the active construction phase runs from there depending on scope and complexity.
Costs vary based on scope and finish level. Basic finishing starts around $25 to $50 per square foot, mid-range development runs $50 to $75 per square foot, high-end custom work ranges from $75 to $100 or more, and legal secondary suites typically fall between $80 and $120 per square foot. Reborn provides fixed-price contracts so there are no surprises after the project begins.

A legal secondary suite is a self-contained living unit within your home that meets all City of Calgary requirements, including a separate entrance, independent HVAC, proper egress windows in all bedrooms, hard-wired interconnected smoke alarms, and fire-rated separation between the suite and the main dwelling. Reborn manages the entire process from permit application through to final occupancy approval.
Yes. Reborn manages all City of Calgary building and development permits as a core part of the service, including the coordination of all required inspections throughout the build.
Every basement project comes with a standard 2-year workmanship warranty with a satisfaction guarantee, with the option to upgrade to a 5-year warranty. Reborn also conducts proactive site inspections at 6 months and one year after completion to make sure everything is performing as it should.
Yes. Reborn's in-house design team produces 3D models, scaled CAD floor plans, and elevation drawings before construction begins so every layout decision and finish selection is confirmed before a single wall goes up. Design packages start at $500 and include a free one-hour virtual consultation.
