        "text": "A complete mother-in-law suite project typically takes several months, influenced by design complexity, permitting reviews, and construction scope. Interior renovations or garage conversions generally move faster because the primary building envelope is already established. Ground-up attached additions and detached cottages require extra time for foundation excavation, concrete curing, structural framing, exterior siding or stucco, and utility line trenching.
