Absolutely, we are even capable of growing a house that currently sits on a slab foundation in any direction. We dig a basement out as deep as is feasible under not only the house but basically the entire footprint of the lot. If the house doesn't already utilize the maximum height and percentage of lot-fill for the parcel's zoning then we will grow it up and out as much as is permissible.
Typically we add a car elevator in the garage space which serves the basement, allowing a house that had storage for one car to now house 4-6 cars. We generally build small studio apartment style accommodations into our other added space, commonly about 300 square foot apiece.
Fire alarm and fire suppression systems are installed, and a small passenger elevator is also put in place. We prefer to acquire two (or more) side by side row-houses where we can easily conjoin the buildings with the elevator shaft, to save money allowing the costly elevator to serve more residents. We also can interconnect the parking level of the basements, again allowing for savings by eliminating "redundant" car elevators and ventilation equipment. -
2018-06-13 at 2:42 AM UTCWhat is the general cost for this service? I've been quoted about 40K to turn my crawlspace (maybe 800 square feet, about 4' clearance joined to the basement with a little door, it houses the hvac and pipes with a dirt floor, but is tidy) into a third story. That is a bit much for me, considering another contractor quoted the same price to ADD another level on top. I suppose the latter is a bit harder to permit though
EDIT: 450 square feet just measured -

2018-06-13 at 11:06 AM UTCI had the “drug” discussion with my son when he was in his early teens. After he hit 18, all his screw ups are his to own. His mistakes his consequences. I’m not here to save him. He will learn on his own. Anddddd, trust me, he’s learning!
