Navera Brampton › Blog › Basement Side Entrances on New Brampton Homes
What Navera's side entrance and basement rough-ins give you, and what a legal second unit still needs.
A "grade-permitting" side entrance is a door from the basement to the side yard that the builder installs only where the lot's grading allows it. At Navera, DiGreen Homes' feature sheet includes that door where grade permits, about 9′ ceilings in the basement and a 3-piece plumbing rough-in. Those make a future basement suite easier, but a legal second unit in Brampton still needs City approval and permits.
See every item on the included features page.
Not every lot slopes the way a side door needs. The site plan decides it, so the lot you choose decides whether you get the door. Ask for the grading information on each lot you're considering before you submit a worksheet.
Confirm the current requirements with the City of Brampton before you count on rental income.
Larger plans like the six-bedroom 38-03 Loft leave the main house roomy even if the basement becomes a suite. Ask for the basement layout of each plan you're considering; the floor plans go to registered buyers with the price list.
It means the builder installs a side entrance door from the basement only where the lot's grading allows it. Whether your lot qualifies depends on the site plan, so ask before choosing a lot. The RE/MAX Gold Realty broker team in Brampton checks lot details for registered buyers.
Possibly. The City of Brampton requires additional residential units to meet its zoning and building rules and to be registered with permits. A side entrance and rough-ins help, but they don't make a unit legal on their own. Check with the City before you plan rental income.
According to DiGreen Homes' feature sheet, Navera homes include about 9′ ceilings throughout including the basement, a 3-piece plumbing rough-in in the basement and a side entrance door from the basement where grade permits.
