        "text": "Overall expenses depend on foundation work, square footage, structural complexity, and whether plumbing or wet areas are included. Expanding dry living rooms or standard bedrooms costs less because framing, insulation, and drywall work proceed without specialized pipe installation. In contrast, in-law suites or guest quarters that incorporate walk-in showers, tile layouts, and kitchenettes carry higher costs due to plumbing runs, dedicated electrical circuits, and fixture installations. Project costs also adjust based on foundation site preparation, exterior stucco integration, and tying roof structures into the existing building.",
