        "text": "For most homeowners, a full addition takes several months from first consultation to completion. The build phase is only part of the timeline; design, permits, and inspections add significant time.\n\nYour schedule will depend on city review times, material availability, and how quickly you make decisions. Rushing usually leads to mistakes or change orders.\n\nKey factors:\n- Design and planning: a few weeks to a few months\n- Permits and approvals: often 4–12+ weeks depending on backlog\n- Construction: commonly 2–6 months based on size and complexity\n- Inspection scheduling and punch‑list fixes at the end\n\nAsk contractors for a realistic, best‑case and worst‑case schedule, not just the optimistic version. Plan your life assuming the longer scenario so delays feel manageable rather than catastrophic."
