        "text": "Before scheduling an initial consultation, collect functional priorities, desired layout ideas, and a rough working budget. Make a list of everyday problems you want to fix, such as poor kitchen workflow, lack of bathroom storage, or missing space for aging relatives. If you are exploring an in-law suite, home addition, or patio expansion, identify where on the property you envision the change. Clear measurements are not necessary upfront, but clear priorities help contractors provide accurate estimates.",
