        "text": "Most custom guest house projects take between four to nine months from initial planning to completion. The timeline divides into two key stages: pre-construction and physical building. Pre-construction involves architectural design, engineering, and waiting for municipal permit reviews, which can take several weeks or months depending on local agency workloads. Once permits are approved, site clearing, foundation pouring, framing, mechanical rough-ins, drywall installation, exterior stuccoing, and interior fixture installations proceed sequentially. Weather delays and material lead times can occasionally shift the schedule.",
