Bedroom legal, exit where?

Basements list bedrooms yearly. Egress missing illegal.

1. The problem

Home sellers list basement bedrooms yearly. Egress windows missing illegally. Codes demand sizes exact. Cutting foundations scares structural. The hardest part is code-exact cutting fast. A bedroom might appraise zero. That uncertainty makes it hard to sleep legal.

What people are saying

“Listing yearly illegal here. I need measure guides with cut flows.”

2. What exists

Contractors, codes and egress makers legalize bedrooms, while listing persists yearly. Contractors price wildly. Codes read dense. There is little help with measure guides plus cut flows for owners.

3. The solution

The solution could be a sleep-legal engine. It could measure code simply exact. It could cut professionally permitted. Wells could drain daylight. The goal would be legal bedrooms, safe sleepers.
