Does your Basements ebook cover converting an existing basement into a habitable room (damp proofing, fire regs, etc)?
Hello Anna,
Thank you for your enquiry. I’m afraid the book does not cover conversions of existing basements, and is more focused on new build construction. Sorry we can’t be of more assistance. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask, or email me over at emma@firstinarchitecture.co.uk.
