Basement Home Plans

Basements are substructures or foundations of a building or home. It is the lowest habitable story and is usually entirely or partially below ground level. They typically have ceiling heights of 8' and are often finished off as living or storage space as needed by the homeowner. House plans with basement foundations can’t easily be built in certain regions of the country where the water table is high. But, they are usually the preferred foundation in the Midwest or Northern parts of the country as opposed to the Coastal areas or Lowcountry regions that have a high water table. Basements that have a door accessing the outdoors will pass local and national fire codes and can safely include sleeping areas.
