        "text": "The timeline for building an ADU can vary. The design and permitting phase often takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the design and the responsiveness of local planning departments. Construction typically ranges from 4 to 9 months, influenced by the ADU's size, type, site conditions, and material availability. Overall, expect a total project duration of 7 to 15 months from start to finish.",
