Our Services

Six types of basement. One question: what do you want yours to do?

BCR Basements builds legal apartments, in-law suites, home theatres, wet bars, home offices and home gyms across Durham Region and Toronto. Every project: fixed price, on time, defect-free.

What BCR builds

Every basement BCR builds is backed by The BCR Promise.

How every BCR project works

Same process. Every project. No exceptions.

01

Feasibility Assessment

A 90-minute on-site session. We walk the space, review permits and give you a real investment range based on your actual basement. $697, credited in full if you build with BCR.

02

Fixed-Price Strategy

Full scope, fixed price, permit pathway and timeline in writing. You sign when you are 100% confident, not before. No number changes after this point.

03

We Build. You Live Better.

BCR manages every permit, trade and inspection. Regular updates throughout. Full walkthrough at completion backed by The BCR Promise and the 7-year warranty.

04

Sign-Off and Warranty

For legal suites we coordinate all city inspections through to final sign-off. Then the 7-year warranty starts, and we are still the ones who answer the phone.

The BCR Promise

Three guarantees, all with money behind them.

Fixed-Price Guarantee

The price we quote is the price you pay. We do the homework before we quote, so the number is real. Once locked, it does not move.

On-Time Guarantee

One week late? We pay you $1,000. Every week after that, another $1,000. Written into your contract before we break ground.

Defect-Free Guarantee

You do not pay the final amount until the work is right. Backed by a 7-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
