Framing, electrical and finish carried by one crew, with egress and lighting planned before the first cut.
A basement only stops looking like a basement when the framing, the electrical and the finish are planned together. Egress and lighting come first, because both decide the layout — and both are far more expensive to fix once the walls are closed.
Connected to the house it sits under — stair, heating, power and load — rather than sealed off underneath it.
A basement that reads as a separate world usually got planned as one. The stair position decides where the rooms can go; the heating and the power come off the system already there; and the floor above has to carry whatever goes underneath it. All of that is settled with the rest of the house, not after it.
