        "text": "Total project duration varies based on the size, design complexity, and scope of utility work. Most home additions take several months from the start of site excavation to final trim and punch-list completion. The timeline breaks into two distinct stages: pre-construction and physical construction. Pre-construction covers architectural design, engineering reviews, and local permit processing, which can take several weeks.
