        "text": "Several factors determine the structural feasibility of a second-story addition. These include the existing foundation's condition and capacity, the integrity of the lower-level walls, and the overall structural design of your current home. Soil conditions, roof type, and the age of the house also play a role. A structural engineer will conduct a thorough assessment to ensure the property can safely support the added weight and construction.",
