        "text": "The cost of a bump-out addition depends on structural support requirements, square footage, exterior finish matching, and interior utilities. A cantilevered bump-out that only requires framing, insulation, and basic drywall will sit at the lower end of the project spectrum. Conversely, an extension designed for a master bathroom or kitchen requires plumbing tie-ins, electrical work, custom tile, or cabinetry, which increases labor and material costs. Adding ground footings or concrete piers also adds to the total compared to an ungrounded cantilevered design.",

        "description": "Costs are driven by whether foundation footings are needed, the square footage added, exterior siding matching, and the complexity of plumbing or electrical work."
