Rush Meadow - Basement Separate Entrance

---

The Rush Meadow Separate Basement Entrance project in Kitchener was a prime example of efficient engineering design and construction, tailored to the client's specific needs. The objective was to construct a basement entrance in the backyard, leading to a basement suite intended for rental purposes. This task involved converting an existing 48-inch wide basement window into a new basement doorway, a process that required a custom-designed solution.

Northcon Corp undertook the responsibility of ordering a bespoke 48-inch door, equipped with a side lite, to fit the newly created basement entrance in backyard. This custom door was not merely a structural addition but also a crucial element in altering the basement's atmosphere. The inclusion of the side lite in the door design was a strategic decision, aimed at maximizing natural light infiltration into the basement suite. The construction of the separate entrance was executed perpendicular to the existing basement foundation. The design included 4-feet wide steps descending to a landing area, providing a smooth and accessible transition into the basement suite.

This design approach for the basement separate entrance was an optimal solution, considering the location of the basement entrance and the need for an aesthetically appealing yet functional entryway. The layout of the steps and the landing area was meticulously planned to ensure ease of access while maximizing the use of available space.

The project's execution was marked by precision and swiftness, with Northcon Corp completing the work in record time. Every phase of the construction was carried out with a keen focus on quality and adherence to the city of Kitchener's building regulations. The successful completion of the project within a tight timeframe, along with obtaining all necessary approvals from the city, underscored Northcon Corp's efficiency and expertise in managing complex construction projects.

The client's satisfaction with the final outcome was a testament to the project's success. The new basement separate entrance not only enhanced the functionality and rental appeal of the basement suite but also added a distinct architectural feature to the property. The Rush Meadow Basement Separate Entrance project stands as a testament to innovative design and engineering excellence, resulting in a practical and visually appealing addition to the client's home.
