        "text": "Timelines vary widely based on the addition's size, design complexity, and local municipal permit review times. Planning, design, and permitting generally take between one and three months before breaking ground. Physical construction typically spans three to six months for standard room additions or bump-outs, while extensive multi-room or second-story projects can take longer. Weather conditions, site excavation factors, and custom finish lead times also play a direct role in the final schedule.",
