        "text": "The overall construction timeline varies based on project complexity and whether the unit is attached or detached. A garage conversion or internal suite renovation often takes several months, as the exterior shell is already in place. In contrast, a ground-up detached accessory structure takes longer due to site excavation, pouring concrete footings, structural framing, and utility trenching. Weather conditions, material procurement, and municipal building department inspection schedules also impact the final schedule. baycityremodeling.com assigns dedicated project managers to keep each phase organized and moving forward.",
