        "text": "The overall cost of an attached in-law suite is driven by square footage, foundation type, bathroom and kitchen complexity, and electrical upgrades. Tying plumbing and waste lines into the home's existing system across long distances or cutting into concrete slabs increases labor. Adding luxury finishes, custom cabinetry, curbless walk-in showers, or separate mini-split HVAC zones also changes project scope. Additionally, if the main electrical panel lacks sufficient amperage to support added appliances and climate equipment, a panel upgrade will add to the budget.",
