        "text": "The timeline for ADU construction can vary based on project scope, city permitting processes, and contractor availability. Generally, the design and permitting phase can take 3-6 months. The actual construction phase for a detached or attached ADU typically takes another 4-8 months. Garage conversions might be faster, often completed within 3-5 months after permits are issued. Overall, expect 7-14 months.",
