        "text": "Yes, converting an existing attached garage into an ADU is a common and often more cost-effective option than new construction. This process typically involves insulating walls and ceilings, upgrading electrical and plumbing systems, adding a kitchen and bathroom, and ensuring adequate ventilation and natural light. It also requires compliance with all ADU regulations, including ceiling height requirements and fire separation. A garage conversion often leverages existing foundations and roofs, reducing material and labor costs compared to ground-up construction.",
