Integrated Build & Framing - extra floor level
Raising a building for an extra floor to be added, is a great way to double living space and in the case of having a full basement, even triple space for living and extra storage. This enables plenty of added value and savings without having to acquire another property and can build for the long term. A basement project can be completed and winterized with zone control, regardless of the status of winterization in the upper level, original cottage, house or building.

In the future another floor can be added, in addition to the time to upgrade the original building, such as insulation, vapour barrier, drywall, interior woodwork, electric, plumbing, mechanical and so on by other relevant trades. This is useful for growing families and space requirements for people and friends, in addition to more urgent getaway plans that may be useful in practical "escapism". This can preserve the original history and storey of the building and update that to current and future plans over time.
