        "text": "Building an attached ADU typically begins with design and planning, often involving an architect or designer to create blueprints. Next, you'll apply for permits from your local city or county planning department, which includes submitting your plans for review. Once permits are approved, construction can commence, involving site preparation, foundation work, framing, utilities installation (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), insulation, drywall, and finishing touches. Throughout the construction phase, inspections by local building officials are required at various stages to ensure code compliance. The final step is a conclusive inspection and obtaining the certificate of occupancy.",
