        "text": "Total construction costs depend directly on unit square footage, foundation type, site preparation, interior finish levels, and utility routing distances from the primary residence. Because a detached build involves ground-up construction, costs reflect independent framing, exterior finishes like siding or full-house stuccoing, roof installation, dedicated electrical subpanels, and dedicated HVAC mini-split systems. We evaluate the specific layout, trenching distance, and finish selections during the consultation phase and offer negotiable pricing alongside veteran discounts.",
