It is a hardware feature, better do it when the house is being built. 1,500 is a bit over priced but the builder knows it is hard to do afterwards so they take the chance to make for more profit. If you want it, your wallet has to suffer, this is reality.

4 u, Y" G, W0 X8 _$ w! hGood question, should ask the developer or the builder, I think there are grading/elevation requirements binding construction applications; the public sewage system may play a part too; try to imagine: if excavation went too deep below the sewage, waste water may back up into the house drainage system.

' q' V; r: N8 C2 Y2 c+ VThanks a lot for your points. Yes, are right, actually buider has put that open stair with railing features into the original floorplan as suggested upgrade. We have accepted that when we sign the contract, of course paying almost 4000$ for it. Builder 's trick is they demand more money as an upgrade. But actually they have counted that area as floor squire footage. make it actually a hidden cost. The worst thing is we payed the extra, they still only provide a narrow stair way to basement. If we want to widen it, more money again...WU SHANG BU JIAN ...hehe...
