You could say we have a reputation for green building expertise and spectacular design – but we prefer to let our work speak for itself. We are dedicated to all those homeowners in search of a new home full of design, imagination, and make-you-swoon features. No doubt, Sussex will create the new home of your dreams (and of your neighbors’ dreams). At Sussex Construction, we are known leaders in the building industry. We combine good taste and getting things done with exceptional results. Because it is not just about what you build. It’s how you build it. All this without burning a hole in your pockets. If you are searching for new custom home builders in Helena, MT your search is over!
"We are one of a handful of new construction purchases (within the last year). During the build process, they were great to work with. Once we closed, all that changed. We have to run space heaters during the winter months (a brand new home) due to the design of the ductwork and Sussex wouldn't lift a finger, we have flooding at the entrance to our property, and once again, Sussex did nothing. We had fixtures in the wrong place, and some were not what we ordered at all, and guess what? they did nothing!!.. As we began to speak with others in the community, we learned of a horrible reputation throughout Helena, as well as, a horrible place to be employed. All in all, stay away from Suxxit construction at all costs. Money is their motivation, not happy families"

The excavation process requires four to eight weeks after preparations are complete. This timeline may extend considerably if contractors encounter unexpected challenges such as rocky soil formations, concealed utility lines, or foundation issues requiring remediation. Additional time requirements for drainage installation, waterproofing, and utility connections should also factor into your planning schedule. Consulting with experienced local contractors provides the most accurate timeline projections.
Creating a basement in high water table conditions remains possible but requires specialized moisture management systems. Contractors implement comprehensive waterproofing, robust drainage networks, and appropriate sump pump systems to manage groundwater infiltration. These enhanced moisture protection measures increase project costs but remain essential for long-term functionality. Professional evaluation of specific site conditions determines the most appropriate moisture management approach.
Several indicators suggest potential challenges for basement excavation, including consistently damp soil conditions, visible foundation deterioration, or significant settlement in existing structures. Properties with unstable soil compositions or bedrock near the surface may present prohibitive excavation costs. Professional structural assessment identifies specific challenges and potential mitigation strategies before committing to major excavation projects.
The value enhancement from basement additions varies considerably based on local market preferences, finish quality, and functional utility. Well-executed basement spaces with proper egress, comfortable ceiling heights, and quality finishes provide the strongest return on investment. Consulting with local real estate professionals provides insight into specific value expectations for your market area and property type.
Most jurisdictions require comprehensive building permits for basement excavation projects due to their structural implications. These include general construction permits plus specific approvals for structural modifications, electrical installations, plumbing systems, and mechanical equipment. Many municipalities also require engineer-stamped plans certifying structural integrity. Working without proper permits risks substantial penalties and potentially costly remediation requirements.
