        "text": "Custom basement design costs depend heavily on square footage, bathroom additions, custom cabinetry, wet bar plumbing, and specialty lighting. Adding wet areas like a full bathroom or kitchenette increases costs because concrete trenching is required to tie into the home's main sewer line. Upgraded finishes, such as custom built-ins, soundproofing insulation, luxury vinyl plank, or stone countertops, also influence the total investment. Evaluating your scope upfront allows you to prioritize high-impact architectural elements while standardizing utility areas to keep the budget balanced.",
