Hello. I am very interested in this project and I am confident that I can design a functional, cozy in‑law suite layout for your basement with a bathroom, kitchenette, and living area. I have 8 years of experience planning basement suites and accessory units, coordinating plumbing and electrical locations, egress, and ceiling heights so they comply with local codes while maximising space and natural light. I would like to discuss the project with you as soon as possible. I would also like to go over your basement dimensions, window locations, existing plumbing/electrical points, and any local code notes you have so the floorplan is practical, compliant, and ready for your contractor to use.
