Feasibility
We confirm ceiling height, entrance options, egress, mechanical constraints, and whether a legal suite path is realistic before you spend on design.

Price Match
Real legal basement suite numbers before a site visit turns into guesswork.
Searchers comparing legal basement suite contractors are usually trying to answer one question first: what is this going to cost if it is built properly? OAF quotes the full legal path: permits, fire separation, egress, mechanical, inspections, and finish scope.
The SSIP can reduce the effective cost for eligible Calgary homeowners, but the project still has to meet City conditions. We treat the incentive as a compliance path, not a sales gimmick.
1-bedroom basement legal suite Best fit for compact revenue suites
$58K to $78K 2-bedroom basement legal suite Higher rent potential, more scope
$75K to $98K Premium legal suite Upgraded finish package and larger layout
$95K to $118K Low ceiling / underpinning path Structural scope changes the economics
$115K+ SSIP Reality Check
Grant eligibility is not automatic. It has to be designed into the project.
The safest path is to check eligibility before construction starts, confirm the permit route, and keep the project aligned with City documentation from day one.

How OAF Reduces Risk
A legal suite is a regulated build. The process matters as much as the finish.
Fixed Price
You get a scoped price range tied to the actual basement, not a vague contractor estimate that grows after demolition.
Permit Path
Drawings, permit applications, inspections, and occupancy requirements are planned before construction starts.
Grant Package
For eligible projects, we align the build path with SSIP documentation so the rebate does not become an afterthought.
Calgary Portfolio Evidence
Finished spaces sell trust faster than contractor promises.
These are OAF legal-suite project photos, selected because paid traffic needs visible proof above the long-form details.
Next Step
Get a fixed-price legal suite quote before the grant and permit path gets harder.
Send OAF the address, rough basement size, and whether the suite is new or existing. We will check feasibility, grant fit, and the real price path before you commit to a build.
