I did most of my basement 2 years ago cost me 10,000 for the main living area, hallway landing area, bedroom and the stairs.  I did all the work myself except the taping and carpet, taping was 1,000 and carpet was about 4500. 
I learned to shop around, found several places to buy things at much better deals than HD. 
Too bad your in Calgary I know a pretty good electrician here in Edmonton, lol.
