        "text": "The total cost of building a granny suite varies based on square footage, whether it is an interior remodel or a ground-up addition, and the extent of plumbing, electrical, and finish choices. An interior conversion utilizing existing drywall and framing generally costs less than framing an entirely new structural wing with foundation and roof ties. Major variables that influence your final estimate include adding an accessible bathroom with a walk-in shower, running dedicated plumbing lines, and installing separate climate controls. Project consultations help establish structural requirements, finish options, and negotiable pricing tailored to your property.",
