        "text": "Before contacting a contractor, gather your property survey, identify your primary functional goals, and establish a comfortable budget range. A property survey shows boundary lines, easements, and setback limits, which immediately tells the builder where on your lot ground expansions are permitted. Consider how you want the room to connect with existing spaces—such as blending seamlessly with an adjoining living area or maintaining privacy behind closed doors. Having photos of preferred trim styles and a list of necessary equipment, such as heavy gym weights or audio setups, streamlines your consultation.",
