        "text": "The complete ADU process, from initial design to final construction, can typically take 8 to 18 months. Design and architectural planning usually require 1-3 months. Permit acquisition from local jurisdictions like Huntington Beach or Irvine can take 2-6 months, depending on the city's review process and project complexity. Construction itself generally spans 4-8 months, influenced by the ADU's size, design, and any unforeseen site challenges.",
