        "text": "Yes, converting an existing garage into an attached ADU is a common and often cost-effective option. This approach frequently benefits from existing foundations, walls, and utility access, potentially reducing overall construction time and expense. However, considerations include ensuring the garage meets current building codes for residential use, such as ceiling height, insulation, and fire separation from the main house. We assess your garage's suitability and guide you through the conversion process.",
