For Calgary Owners Who Already Know They Want a Legal Suite
If you are searching for a legal suite builder in Calgary, you are probably past the inspiration stage. You need to know whether the basement can become a legal rental, what the permit path looks like, what the fixed price will be, and whether the work can qualify for the Secondary Suite Incentive Program.
OAF Construction builds legal basement suites for Calgary homeowners who want the rental unit done properly: code-compliant, inspected, documented, and finished like a space someone would actually want to live in.
What OAF Checks Before Pricing
- Ceiling height, egress windows, and bedroom locations
- Separate entrance options and suite access
- Fire separation, interconnected alarms, and detector requirements
- Heating, return air, exhaust, and ventilation constraints
- Plumbing distance, electrical load, and panel capacity
- City of Calgary permit route and SSIP timing
- Whether the house is a good fit for rental income or family use
The quote is built around the house in front of us, not a generic per-square-foot number.
Who This Page Is For
This is a fit if you own a Calgary home, want a legal secondary suite, and need a builder who can manage permits and construction under one accountable scope. It is not a fit if you only want drawings, a DIY plan, or a cash-only renovation with no permits.
Fixed-Price Legal Suite Scope
Legal suite work commonly starts around $58,000 for compact basement suite conversions and rises with layout, mechanical changes, separate-entry work, bathrooms, kitchens, and finish level. OAF gives you a fixed-price proposal after the feasibility check so you know the real number before work starts.
Calgary Proof Matters
Calgary suite rules, inspection habits, grant timing, and housing demand are local. A contractor who treats a legal suite like a normal basement renovation can miss the details that determine whether the unit passes inspection and rents cleanly.
