Airdrie Basement Development & Renovation Specialists
Locally owned and Airdrie-based — we know the neighbourhoods, the permit office, and the building code. From legal basement suites to full home renovations, Wasely Construction delivers finished spaces you'll actually want to live in, without the guesswork.
Built by Airdronians, for Airdrie homes
Hiring a contractor from outside town means explaining your neighbourhood, your lot to someone who's learning on the job. We don't have that learning curve. Wasely Construction lives and works in Airdrie — we've walked the City's permit counter, we build to the National Building Code (Alberta Edition), and we know how local lots, soil, and how seasons affect a project from foundation to finish.
That local knowledge shows up where it counts: fewer permit revisions, no surprises at inspection, and a finished space that's done right the first time. We aren't just basement development experts we are your LOCAL basement development experts.

Thinking about a basement suite? Airdrie homeowners are — in record numbers
Demand for secondary suites in Airdrie has climbed sharply, with hundreds now built across the city and dozens more under construction. A legal basement suite can offset your mortgage, house family, or add long-term value — but it's a different project than a standard basement finish, with its own development permit and code requirements.
We specialize in exactly this: from the accessory-suite development permit through the basement building permit, egress, fire separation, and final inspection — handled for you.
Straightforward from quote to keys
- Free in-person quote — We come to your home, look at the actual space, and give you a real number — not a phone estimate that changes later.
- We handle the permits — Development permits, building permits, trade permits — prepared and submitted for you. (Bonus: hire a contractor and you're exempt from Airdrie's homeowner trade-permit fees.)
- Code-compliant build — Framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishing to NBC (Alberta Edition), with inspections passed cleanly.
- Finished right — One local team, accountable from first cut to final walkthrough.

Do I need a permit to develop my basement in Airdrie?
Yes — basement development requires a building permit, and developing it as a secondary suite requires a separate development permit as well. We prepare and submit both for you.
How long does a basement project take?
Most basement finishes run several weeks depending on scope; suites take longer due to the two-permit process. We give you a realistic timeline at quote.
Do you build legal (income) basement suites?
Yes — that's a core specialty. We handle the accessory-suite development permit, building permit, and all code requirements for a fully legal suite.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — we hold a current City of Airdrie business licence and carry full insurance, and our trades hold valid qualifications.
