Remodeling Old Basements. Even Worth It?

I get calls quite often from people wanting to add a bedroom and a bathroom in their basement. Problem is they are often the standard ranch homes from the 50s or earlier with ceiling heights of about 6' 10 with beams and ducts and pipes running everywhere. Code book says habitable areas need a minimum ceiling height of 7'. If we go by the book, permit & inspections, etc. then it would seem we are done before we even started. What do you tell the homeowners? Sorry?
