        "text": "Before reaching out to a contractor, gather your property survey, identify your functional goals, determine a tentative budget, and review any HOA guidelines. A property survey or boundary plat shows easements and property boundaries, which reveal how close to the property line you can build. Define how the space will function—such as an extra bedroom, in-law quarters, or an extended living room—and whether it requires plumbing. Having this information upfront helps the contractor assess site viability, plan structural tie-ins, and provide an accurate initial consultation.",
