RTM homes are an excellent choice for building houses in rural communities. Ready-to-move homes are affordable and efficient, and at Blue Hills Construction, we guarantee a complete home build and installation in just a few months!
Our RTM homes can be installed on a basement foundation, providing plenty of space for homeowners to use for various purposes. If you’re not entirely sure how you would like to use the basement in your RTM home, here are a few ideas from our team at Blue Hills!
Keep reading to learn a few ways you can make the most out of your basement and some customizations you can request in your RTM floor plan.
Legal Suite Rental
If you’re looking for an extra source of income, transforming your basement into a rental is a great way to get the most out of this space. During the planning process, we’ll work with you to include features in your basement that allow you to rent it out legally, such as fire-safe exits, plumbing hookups, and temperature controls.
In-law Suite
If you’d like to include a legal suite in your RTM plans, in addition to using it as a rental, you can also use it as an in-law suite. Basement suites are a great solution for families with aging parents, as they provide an extra layer of privacy for everyone in the household while keeping everyone under the same roof. This space can be customized to include a separate entrance and age-in-place features like a stairlift and bathroom handrails.
Extra Canning and Pantry Space
Many rural households bring in a sizeable harvest from their gardens and orchards, and canning is a very popular method for preserving it. You can make the most of your basement’s space by installing custom shelves for canned goods and other stock pantry items. If you enjoy hunting, you can even include a walk-in deep freeze for wild game or your own farm-fresh meat.
Indoor Workshop
Having an indoor workshop is a great alternative when you don’t have an outdoor space for woodworking or repairing tools and small equipment. You can have a woodworking table and saw installed in your basement for building furniture, repairing fence posts, and other smaller farm and household projects.
Work From Home with a Basement Office
Do you work from home? You can use the basement in your RTM as a dedicated office space. Some customization options for this type of space include in-wall bookshelves, upper and lower cabinets, and other features that will improve the organization and productivity of the space.
