        "text": "The timeline for building a detached ADU generally ranges from 8 to 18 months, from initial design to final construction. This includes several phases: design and architectural planning (2-4 months), permit acquisition from the local city (3-6 months, varies by city), and actual construction (3-8 months). Factors like site preparation requirements, weather, and material availability can influence the overall project duration.",
