Basement Renovations New Westminster. Turn underused space into part of the home.
QUAY Construction plans and builds basement renovations throughout New Westminster, coordinating framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, lighting, electrical, bathrooms, storage, millwork and interior finishing through one organized construction process.
Start with the conditions that already exist below grade.
Basements often contain structural elements, plumbing, mechanical equipment, electrical services and existing construction that need to be understood before the new rooms are planned.
QUAY considers those conditions alongside layout, insulation, storage, lighting and finishes so the lower level can become a more useful part of the home.

Review the lower level before defining the renovation.
Layout
Plan rooms around circulation, utilities and available space.
Systems
Coordinate electrical, plumbing, ventilation and insulation.
Finishing
Bring flooring, millwork, lighting and trim together.
Decide what the space needs to become.
A basement can become a family room, home office, guest space, bathroom, laundry area, storage zone or a combination of several functions.
Defining those priorities before framing begins helps determine where walls, lighting, storage, plumbing and electrical should go.
From unfinished structure to finished living space.
Basement renovation scopes can combine multiple trades and construction stages into one coordinated project.
Demolition
Existing finishes and selected construction removed where required.
Framing
Interior walls, bulkheads and room divisions built around the planned layout.
Insulation
Applicable insulation and sound-control measures incorporated into the scope.
Drywall
Walls and ceilings boarded, taped and prepared for final finishing.
Electrical
Lighting, receptacles and electrical requirements coordinated around the new spaces.
Plumbing
Bathroom, laundry and other plumbing coordinated where included in the renovation.
Flooring
Flooring selected and installed around the conditions of the lower level.
Finishing
Doors, trim, painting, hardware, millwork and final detailing completed before handover.
Give the lower level a clear purpose.
The most effective basement renovations are planned around how the space will be used rather than simply finishing every available surface.
Family Room
Comfortable lower-level living space for everyday use.
Guest Space
Flexible rooms designed around visiting family or guests.
Home Office
Dedicated work space separated from the primary living areas.
Fitness Space
Open lower-level areas adapted for exercise and wellness.
Laundry Room
Laundry storage, counters, cabinetry and practical utility space.
Custom Storage
Built-in storage designed around available wall and floor area.
Add convenience without treating plumbing as an afterthought.
A basement bathroom can make the lower level substantially more functional, but plumbing location, drainage, ventilation, electrical, waterproofing and available ceiling height all need to be considered before the layout is finalized.

Insulation considerations can be incorporated into the renovation scope.
Sound Control
Selected assemblies can help reduce sound transfer between levels.
