        "text": "Before your contractor begins drafting plans, you should gather your property boundary survey, current utility information, and HOA bylaws. A boundary survey verifies property lines and reveals recorded utility easements or drainage rights-of-way where building is prohibited. Identify the location of your main electrical panel, septic tank or sewer connection, and water meter to help estimate trenching runs. You should also outline your must-have amenities, such as full cooking facilities versus a kitchenette, number of bathrooms, and accessibility requirements. Having these details ready allows your builder to assess lot feasibility and establish an accurate initial project scope.",
