A proper vault room starts in the framing stage: reinforced walls tied into the foundation, a door set into structure built to carry it, and an entry your guests never notice. Basements are the natural place for one, with concrete already on most sides and the room out of the daily flow of the house.
We build collection vaults, secure gun rooms with conditioned air for the collection, document and valuables storage, and family safe rooms. Most pair naturally with a hidden entry from our concealed-door work.
In Will and DuPage County the same room earns its keep twice: a below-grade reinforced room is the safest place in the house in a tornado. Built to shelter standards, with independent lighting and a communication line, it protects your family in the minutes that matter and stores what is valuable the rest of the year.
Security projects get a discreet process from the first conversation. Plans stay private, and the crew that builds the rest of your basement builds this room too, without a parade of specialty contractors through your home.
A reinforced room with a quality vault door typically runs 25,000 to 75,000 dollars as part of a larger basement project, depending on size, door grade, and storm rating. Every element is itemized in a private quote.
Yes, and in this region it should. We build to recognized shelter guidance for below-grade rooms, which mostly means anchoring, door strength, and ventilation, so one room covers security and severe weather.
Very. Security details never appear in marketing, photos, or conversation with anyone but you. The room appears on your plans as storage, and the vault specifics live between us.
