        "text": "Bathroom remodels in California must follow the California Building Standards Code, including plumbing, electrical, and accessibility provisions, plus energy rules under Title 24. In LA area cities, local amendments and inspection practices add another layer.\n\nThis affects things like ventilation requirements, lighting efficiency, GFCI outlets, water‑saving fixtures, and sometimes safety glazing in glass. Ignoring these rules can mean failed inspections or expensive rework.\n\nKEY FACTORS:\n- Title 24 lighting and exhaust fan requirements\n- Low‑flow toilets and water‑saving fixtures\n- GFCI and AFCI electrical protection near water\n- Tempered glass where code requires it\n\nHire a contractor familiar with California and specifically LA‑area codes so they design to pass inspection from the start. Ask them to explain any code‑driven choices so you understand why certain fixtures or layouts are recommended."
