Has anyone gone through the process of getting an existing basement permitted?

Electrical and drywall are done. Going to get a concealed wiring permit this week.

I assume you would need a building permit also?

That reminds me I need a retroactive permit for a carport at my mom's house.

Went through this process in Airdrie. All I could think about is what a hassle it would be in Calgary haha. Airdrie process is way less informal.

Good luck!

Super easy.

Just need an electrician & plumber to sign off on existing work.

You need a drawing of the existing floor plan which you can do yourself.

Submit everything to city of Calgary permits department.

I’ve done it many times for clients.

Obviously each situation is different but if your buddy was smart with his development it should be fairly straight forward.

If he’s not a handy guy, get him to call this place.
