It looks like you have your basement framed already what layout are you talking about? Get your rough electric in and plumbing if there is a bathroom, get your rough inspections, insulate exterior walls, get insulation inspection and drywall would be your next stage.

The framing was there before and if we put drywall in as is some rooms will be closed off and we want it to be more open. Right now the basement is divided in 2 sides coming down the stairs with 2 doors on each sides as well. Also I guess we don’t know where we should put the bar, living room, and gym, ect…thank you for your input!
