Finish basement or not?

We are in the stages of building a house and designing the plan. Opinions on finishing or half finishing the basement or have it done later once the house is done either DIY or by contractor?

    It is best to finish later and let the backfill and everything settle, and to make sure there are no water or moisture issues, etc. with your foundation, and after about 2 years plan on finishing your basement.

    Good luck

    Totally agree with GN Builders. Use the time to plan your future space. We placed masking tape on the floor to represent the walls so we could better imagine the rooms. Once we were comfortable we then positioned cannister lights via an X and envisioned placement os switches and receptacles. With a final layout you can obtain quotes or proceed DIY.

    I always finish the basement at the same time as the rest of the house. But greatest care must be taken that water will be excluded.

    R-6 spray foam on the interior of new build basement being framed. Steel doesn't absorb water and then bend and expand.
