        "text": "The total cost to construct an ADU varies based on whether it is an interior conversion, an attached addition, or a ground-up detached build. Key cost drivers include structural foundation work, total square footage, material selections for kitchen and bathroom finishes, and the complexity of running water, sewer, and electrical lines to the building site. Detached units typically carry higher investment levels due to independent site preparation and utility trenching, whereas garage conversions utilize an existing building footprint.",
