Recent Project in Navan

This Navan project started turning an unfinished basement into living space. We framed a new wall to enclose the area under the existing staircase and began the perimeter framing on the concrete floor, working around the ductwork overhead. The photo shows the start of framing, before insulation, electrical and drywall.

What rural Cumberland-ward zoning means for a Navan addition

Navan sits within the Cumberland ward in Ottawa’s east end, among a mix of rural residential and agricultural properties. Rural Cumberland-ward zoning carries its own specific requirements distinct from urban Ottawa, and while larger lots here generally leave more setback room, site-specific ground and drainage conditions still get checked before finalizing a foundation design, the same as anywhere else.
