        "text": "Many people stay in their homes during additions, but it’s loud, dusty, and disruptive. For larger or more invasive projects, temporary relocation can actually be safer and faster.\n\nWhether you can stay depends on where the work is happening, how utilities are affected, and your tolerance for disruption. Families with young children or people working from home often struggle more.\n\nKey factors:\n- Whether the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms remain usable\n- Noise, dust, and safety issues like open framing and tools\n- Utility shutdowns or temporary power/water arrangements\n- Impact on pets, kids, sleep, and work\n\nDiscuss a phasing and access plan with your contractor, including site fencing, daily cleanup, and work hours. If living in the home would significantly extend the schedule or stress, compare that cost to renting nearby for a few months."
