        "text": "The cost to frame basement walls varies depending on square footage, wall height, ceiling duct soffits, and the layout of separate rooms like bathrooms or bedrooms. Material costs for lumber and fasteners, along with labor for custom layout and floating wall assemblies, make up the core framing budget. Framing also sets the stage for downstream costs like mechanical rough-ins, drywall, and trim. Getting a detailed, in-person estimate from an experienced general contractor ensures all structural bracing, fireblocking, and soffit work are clearly scoped before work begins.",
