        "text": "For most ADU projects, particularly those involving new construction or significant structural changes, a licensed architect or experienced building designer is typically required. Their expertise ensures the design meets structural integrity, energy efficiency, and local building codes, which can vary across our service areas like Fremont or Pleasanton.
