Adding a Basement
Adding a Basement
(OP)
The home that we currentlylive in is almost perfect. The only thing it lacks is a basement. The crawlspace is currently excavated 3-4' under the house. I am considering adding a basement under the house. What should I be concerned about in such a project? Thanks in advance for your comments.

2. getting waterproofing on your walls
3. hiring a contractor that has proven experience in this type of project.

If you are in a good neighbourhood with prices going up, the cost can be worth it due to the increase in value of the house.
Note that if you are going that far, you might consider an addition/renovation to the house such that you maximize the increase in value of the home (note that this depends on the value of the land, neighbourhood etc.).
