Turning a Basement Into a Legal Unit

As a trusted legal basement apartment builder Richmond Hill homeowners rely on, GGC LTD manages every code requirement, from egress windows to fire separation, so your unit meets local approval standards.

DESIGNED FOR

Why Basement Apartments Often Fail Inspection

Many basement units fail approval because they skip key legal requirements.

Missing Egress Windows

Bedrooms need a proper exit window by code.

Ceiling Height Issues

Some basements fall short of minimum height rules.

No Fire Separation

Units need proper fire-rated walls and ceilings.

Poor Ventilation

Basements need adequate airflow and moisture control.

Unpermitted Work

Renovations without permits rarely pass city review.

The Fix

Careful planning around each code requirement leads to a unit that passes inspection.
