        "text": "Building an ADU involves feasibility planning, architectural design, permitting, site preparation, foundation work, framing, and interior buildouts. After completing initial designs, your contractor coordinates plan reviews through the local building department to secure necessary building, electrical, and plumbing permits. Once approved, crews pour the slab or footings, complete structural framing, and run dedicated utilities. Interior trades then complete drywall installation, tile, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen cabinetry, followed by municipal inspections and final walkthroughs.",
