It is a hardware feature, better do it when the house is being built. 1,500 is a bit over priced but the builder knows it is hard to do afterwards so they take the chance to make for more profit. If you want it, your wallet has to suffer, this is reality.

Good question, should ask the developer or the builder, I think there are grading/elevation requirements binding construction applications; the public sewage system may play a part too; try to imagine: if excavation went too deep below the sewage, waste water may back up into the house drainage system.
有几点个人的意见供你参考: ; r K9 t3 L3 }" b 4 t3 e, j4 P4 X1。加高地下室,开窗,加宽楼梯,都是很好的 feature。 有没有考虑采用楼梯敞口结构,不要门和门框,并装修去地下室的楼梯,个人认为,这样,对主层也显得宽敞和大气。" B, z, F {% {' @7 b3 Z

2。除了外表修饰外,一般来说,在房子上的锦上添花,对于想增加卖出价格,多是得不偿失的。炒楼花的朋友通常选择基本和必要的 upgrade。 如果你升级地下室结构而自己又不利用,只是为潜在的买家着想,可能并不明智。 8 [% o+ k* r1 g/ j9 c. G- \% j4 r' O
3。如果是我,要多花一万,我会用在加宽加大车库,越大越好,自己可以享用,而在卖的时候,注意车库大小的人会比地下室的多。

Yes, are right, actually buider has put that open stair with railing features into the original floorplan as suggested upgrade. We have accepted that when we sign the contract, of course paying almost 4000$ for it. Builder 's trick is they demand more money as an upgrade. But actually they have counted that area as floor squire footage. make it actually a hidden cost. The worst thing is we payed the extra, they still only provide a narrow stair way to basement. If we want to widen it, more money again...WU SHANG BU JIAN ...hehe...
