We had a great experience with Burhan and his team. They were great to coordinate with, and made our basement renovations an easy thing to check off the list. You can tell they've done this many many times, everything ran like a well-oiled machine. 10/10 would recommend!

We could not be happier with Prime Ridge. Not only was the build quality way above expectations, the project Manager (Habiba) was exceptional with customer service. She would answer in less then half an hour and resolve any question we had.

FAQS
How much does it cost to build a legal basement suite in Calgary?
Costs vary depending on layout, mechanical requirements, and fire separation upgrades. We provide a detailed quote after consultation.
How long does it take to build a legal basement suite?
Most standard basement developments take approximately 6–10 weeks once permits are approved. Legal suites may take longer depending on complexity, inspections, and trade coordination.
Project timelines depend on scope, structural changes, custom finishes, and availability of materials. We provide a clear timeline before construction begins.
What makes a basement suite legal in Calgary?
A legal secondary suite in Calgary must meet City zoning rules and building code requirements. This typically includes proper ceiling height, egress windows, fire separation between units, interconnected smoke alarms, separate heating and ventilation, and safe exit access.
PrimeRidge designs and builds legal suites that meet current Calgary regulations and handles required permits and inspections.
Can you convert an existing basement into a legal suite?
Yes. Many existing basements can be converted, but changes may be required for egress, fire separation, ceiling height, mechanical systems, and inspection compliance.
Do I need permits for a basement development in Calgary?
Yes. Most basement developments require a building permit, and legal secondary suites require staged inspections and additional approvals. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work may also require separate permits.
PrimeRidge manages the full permit process, inspection scheduling, and trade coordination to ensure your project complies with City of Calgary regulations.
Do you handle side entrances for legal suites?
Yes. We design and build code-compliant separate entrances for legal basement suites where zoning and lot conditions allow.
This may include concrete cutting, excavation, foundation modifications, framing, waterproofing, and finishing. We assess feasibility during the consultation phase.
Do you manage electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work?
Yes. PrimeRidge coordinates licensed trades for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC systems.
For legal suites, this may include panel upgrades, separate circuits, plumbing rough-ins, bathroom/kitchen installations, and ventilation modifications to meet safety requirements.
Do you offer fixed-price quotes?
Yes. After a site visit and scope definition, we provide a detailed written estimate outlining project scope, materials, and pricing.
For larger projects, we structure milestone-based payment schedules aligned with construction phases.
What areas of Calgary do you serve?
We serve all quadrants of Calgary, including NW, NE, SW, and SE communities. We also work in surrounding areas such as Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, and Chestermere.
