Barbie,
Anything is possible.
A basement bathroom is sure a lot easier if your builder put in the rough plumbing.
If yours didn't, you may have to bust up part of the slab to find the drain pipes to connect. If your main drain is above the floor rather than below it, you'll need to use a sewage ejector.
Venting is another hassle. If the builder didn't supply a rough-in, you have to put in one yourself, probably along the outside of your house and up through the roof.
Supply line plumbing is usually the easiest part.
Good luck.
