Don’t make the costly mistake of rushing into a basement conversion without proper planning

Poor planning leads to wasted money, unusable layouts, and basement conversions that actually reduce your home’s value.

With our expert design and planning service, you’ll avoid these expensive mistakes. We create detailed plans that maximise your space, ensure proper lighting and ventilation, and deliver a basement that feels like a natural extension of your home – not a converted cellar.

Why Homeowners Choose RM Lee for Basement Design and Planning

We Plan for How You Actually Live

Generic basement layouts don’t work. We design around your real needs – whether that’s a teenager’s retreat with gaming space, a home office with proper storage, or a guest suite with privacy. Every square foot is planned with purpose.

We Solve Problems Before They Start

Low ceiling height, moisture concerns, access issues, building regulations – we identify and solve potential problems during the planning stage, not after work has started. This saves you time, money, and stress.

Experience Across Every Type of Property

Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, modern builds – each property type has unique challenges. We understand what works in different homes and design accordingly, not with a one-size-fits-all approach.

Comprehensive Space Assessment

We measure every detail, assess structural considerations, and identify opportunities you might have missed. You’ll understand exactly what’s possible within your space and budget before any work begins.

Detailed Design Drawings

Professional plans show exactly how your finished basement will look and function. You’ll see furniture layouts, lighting positions, and storage solutions before committing to the conversion.

Building Regulations Guidance

We navigate the planning requirements and building regulations for you, ensuring your conversion meets all necessary standards. No nasty surprises from building control later.
