        "text": "Before scheduling a remodeling and addition consultation, gather key property documentation and outline your primary goals for the space. Locate your property boundary survey to identify building setbacks, easements, and current lot coverage. Determine whether the unit will house aging family members, adult children, or short-term guests, as this dictates whether you need accessible features like zero-threshold showers or widened doorways. Having a clear budget range, a list of desired rooms, and your neighborhood HOA rules ready helps your contractor establish feasible design options immediately.",
