[SIZE=3]I am going to ask my builder to finish the basement for us before we move in. The house was built in 2008 so it should have settled. It is 1500 sq. It will have a half bath with drop ceiling, drywall and carpet floor. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I am going to meet with the builder on Monday to discuss about the plan. I need input from you on following questions:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]1)How much it would usually cost for such a project? They are asking for $25,000 for a fully finished basement. Is that reasonable?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]2)what are the most important requirements for a quality basement? The French drain is already in. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]3)How many recess lights do I need for a basement size like that?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]3)Is it standard to require heating and AC systems to be installed in basement? The house has 2 heating and AC units. Would that consider extra work?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Any input is highly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance.[/SIZE]
