        "text": "A bathroom addition involves constructing a new bathroom where none existed before, either by converting existing interior space or building outward. In contrast, a bathroom remodel updates or reconfigures an existing bathroom. An addition requires running new plumbing supply lines, drain stacks, and electrical circuits to a fresh location, which increases structural and utility complexity. Remodeling typically relies on existing rough-in locations or involves minor line adjustments within the current footprint. Your choice depends on whether your home lacks sufficient facilities for your household size or simply has outdated finishes.",
