The basement's requirements
The 800 sq ft (the 7's — the 5.7's; the 44's), the 7-foot (the 800's — the 5.7's; the 44's), the 5.7 (the 44's — the 800's; the 7's), the 44-inch (the 5.7's — the 800's; the 7's), the 5.7 sq ft (the 44's — the 7's; the 800's), and the 800 (the 5.7's — the 44's; the 7's).
Egress and ceiling
The 5.7 sq ft (the 44's — the 7's; the egress'), the 44-inch (the 5.7's — the 7's; the 800's), the 7-foot (the 800's — the 44's; the 5.7's), the 24-inch (the sill's — the 44's; the 5.7's), the 44-inch max (the 24's — the 5.7's; the sill's), and the 800 (the 7's — the 5.7's; the 44's).
Permits and cost
The $300-$800 (the building's — the permit's; the 800's), the $30,000-$80,000+ (the 800's — the 7's; the 5.7's), the 800 sq ft (the 7's — the 44's; the 5.7's), and the 7-foot (the 44's — the 5.7's; the 800's). The 800's — the 7's ceiling; the 5.7's — the egress.
The bottom line
Basement finishes (800 sq ft typical) always need building permits (7-ft ceilings, 5.7 sq ft egress windows with 44-in max sill, smoke/CO) — budget $30,000-$80,000+ and $300-$800 for permits.
