        "text": "The typical timeline for an ADU project, from initial design to final construction, generally ranges from 8 to 18 months. This includes several phases: conceptual design (1-2 months), architectural and engineering plans (2-4 months), permitting review and approval (2-6 months, highly variable), and actual construction (3-6 months). Factors like design complexity, site conditions, and city permitting office workload can significantly influence the overall duration.",
