Basement Design Studio helps Des Moines homeowners plan basement finishing, layout, and blueprint projects with accurate measurements, 3D design concepts, and permit ready plans, backed by an honest quote from XactPRM.
A well-designed wet bar can turn a basement into one of the most enjoyable spaces in the home. In Des Moines, however, the best bar layout depends on more than available wall space. Plumbing locations, ceiling heights, structural supports, appliance clearances, and the overall basement footprint all influence the design.
Basement Design Studio develops custom wet bar layouts based on the actual conditions of your basement. We begin with detailed measurements and use them to determine how the bar can fit into the broader floor plan.
Some homeowners want a compact serving area, while others envision a full entertainment bar with seating, storage, refrigeration, and adjacent gathering space. We design the layout around your priorities and the dimensions available.
A 3D design concept lets you see how the proposed bar will relate to the rest of the basement before construction begins. Once the design is approved, construction-ready blueprints and an accurate quote provide a clear basis for the next stage.
Older Des Moines homes can make plumbing placement particularly important. Existing drain and supply lines may influence the most practical location for a wet bar, and structural elements can affect cabinet and counter dimensions.
By considering those details from the outset, we help create wet bar designs that are attractive, functional, and realistic to construct.
Every Des Moines basement project follows the same clear process, so you always know what happens next and what it costs before work begins.
We start by measuring your basement in detail, on site or through our guided remote process, and talking through your goals, budget, and timeline for the space.
We turn your measurements into a 3D design you can review and approve, so you know exactly what your finished basement will look like before anything is drafted.
Once your design is approved, we draft a construction ready architectural blueprint and help you apply for your Chicago building permit.
We generate a detailed, itemized estimate using XactPRM, so you have a real number to compare against any Chicago contractor's bid.
We focus on one thing, basements, so every layout we design gets the full attention of a specialist, not a generalist.
Every basement here started as a rough measurement and ended as a permit ready plan a contractor could build from.

Do not see your neighborhood listed. Reach out anyway. We design for homeowners across the wider metro area.
Not for interior work like a basement project. An architectural seal is only required for new home construction or home additions, so most basement remodels do not need one
Yes. We measure your exact ceiling height and structural clearances first, then design a layout that works within what your basement actually allows, rather than a plan that looks good on paper but will not pass inspection.
We draft every blueprint to match what your local building department expects for review, and we help you prepare and submit the permit application itself.
Yes. We design for condos, two flats, bungalows, and single family homes alike. Shared walls and building association rules are part of what we account for during measurements.
We generate every quote using XactPRM, giving you an itemized estimate to compare against contractor bids, so you know your numbers before construction starts.
Most single room projects move from measurements to a permit ready blueprint within a few weeks. Whole home projects take longer, and we give you a clear timeline after your first consultation.
We do not build the project ourselves, but your finished blueprint and XactPRM quote give you everything you need to compare and hire a qualified local contractor with confidence.
Yes. Along with the neighborhoods listed above, we design for homeowners throughout the wider metro area, on site or through our guided remote measurement process.
From your first measurement to your final blueprint, we walk you through every step of your basement project.
