Basements in Housing: A Feasibility Study
A study has been made of the feasibility of providing habitable basements in housing. In the study, alternative methods of constructing basements were examined, basement house plans were developed and a comparison was made, on a cost and amenity basis, of basement houses and comparable non-basement houses. It is shown that, in general, basement houses are more expensive on both flat and sloping sites than the nearest comparable non-basement houses. When measured as cost per unit of 'useful shell area' (i.e. the floor area excluding circulation areas and garage) the basement house is 22 percent to 28 percent more expensive on flat sites and 8 percent to 11 percent more on sloping sites. However, the notional plot area required for basement houses is less, giving scope for higher densities of development and reduced land costs. (Copyright (c) British Crown Copyright.)
