        "text": "A bump-out addition is best when you need modest square footage (typically 10 to 50 square feet) for a specific functional improvement, like expanding a tight bathroom or accommodating a kitchen dining banquette. A full addition makes sense when you need independent living space, such as an in-law suite, primary bedroom, or family room. Bump-outs avoid major roofline reconfigurations and substantial foundation excavating, saving construction time. However, the tradeoff is limited floor space that cannot serve as a distinct, standalone room.",
