Does Skipping a Finished Basement Save Money?
Opting not to finish your basement during the initial construction phase can reduce upfront costs, but it’s important to weigh the long-term implications. At True North Custom Homes, we help you evaluate the pros and cons of this decision based on your budget and lifestyle.
While skipping the finished basement may lower costs initially, it’s often more cost-effective to complete it during the build rather than as a future project. Factors like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems are already in place, saving time and money down the road.
We’ll work with you to find the right balance, ensuring your custom home meets both your current needs and future plans.
