        "text": "Whether you can stay in your home depends on the scope, location, and structural impact of the addition. For isolated main-floor projects like a family room or bedroom addition, homeowners often remain on-site because temporary dust barriers seal off the construction zone. If your project involves a kitchen expansion, primary bathroom addition, or a second-story build where the roof is temporarily removed, daily utilities and living areas will be disrupted, making temporary off-site lodging much more practical.",
