Plan storage and utilities before finishing the basement
For a Chantilly lower-level project, map the equipment and storage that must remain accessible. Decide whether a bathroom is part of this phase before dividing the space; its location affects the useful layout of the adjoining rooms.
Bring to your consultation
- Confirm Fairfax County or Loudoun County on the property record.
- Photograph equipment clearances and existing plumbing provisions.
- List storage that needs to remain outside finished living space.
