        "text": "A standard garage conversion generally takes between 4 to 8 weeks of active construction once permits are approved and materials arrive. Pre-construction planning—including architectural drafting, engineering reviews, and local permit approval—typically adds an additional 2 to 6 weeks. The overall project duration varies based on the intended use. Creating a basic home office or playroom with drywall, flooring, and electrical updates moves relatively quickly. If your plans include an in-law suite or ADU requiring plumbing rough-ins for a bathroom or kitchenette, expect extra time for sub-slab trenching, fixture inspections, and detailed finish work.",
