        "text": "A standard in-law suite build typically spans several months, divided into distinct planning, permitting, and construction stages. The process begins with an in-depth consultation and space design, followed by submitting architectural plans to the local building department for permits. Once approvals are secured, the physical construction schedule depends heavily on project scope: garage conversions move faster because the shell exists, while home additions require site grading, concrete foundation pouring, rough framing, plumbing, electrical, and drywall installation. Unforeseen weather delays or extended municipal permit review cycles can also stretch the timeline, which your contractor should manage through active project coordination.",
