Basement finishing for two bedrooms and a living room?

Question

Ok, we have a dry basement that has an attached one car garage. We want to finish it to turn the garage into a walk out living room and the current laundry space into two bedrooms. However due to time contstraints and a baby in the house we don't want to do standard drywall construction. I've looked into the "basement finishing systems" and they seem to be the best option but we can't afford to pay someone to come in and do all of the labor. We can do the labor no problem (built our last house ourselves) but can't seem to find these panels and installation supplies for sale seperately. Does anyone know where I could buy them, either online or in person? I live in Michigan but am willing to drive wuite a distance for a quality product. (Also, has anyone bought/used these systems before and how much did it cost for the install?)

Or, can anyone suggest another alternative that is safe and to code. One of the rooms is for the baby so it needs to be perfectly safe.

Thanks in advance.

I found this immediately in doing a usual WWW search. In using keywords there were hundreds of links that came up.

Obviously BOB is a commercial enterprize but he does suggest the system, it's trade name, and you might possibly connect through a contact link for info.

All the luck to you, I've seen the system installed at a friend before and it looked great. unfortunately I dont know where you can just buy them without installation especially since in canada, you can barely find one to install let alone sell it seperately to you, good luck

you can always use wood paneling
