        "text": "The timeline for ADU construction can range from 6 months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the project and local permitting processes. Design and permitting usually take 3-6 months. The construction phase itself can take another 3-8 months, influenced by factors like weather, material availability, and the specific type of ADU. Expediting permits or choosing a pre-approved design can sometimes shorten the overall duration.",
