        "text": "The overall cost of an interior remodel is primarily driven by structural modifications, mechanical upgrades, and selected finishes. Rerouting plumbing fixtures, upgrading electrical panels to meet modern appliance loads, and installing support beams for open layouts increase labor and framing costs significantly. Material selections—such as custom cabinetry, solid stone countertops, and specialty tile versus builder-grade options—also create wide budget differences. Before finalizing plans, deciding whether to keep existing plumbing locations or shift layouts helps establish clear spending priorities and prevents unexpected change orders.",
