        "text": "While not always legally required for every conversion, engaging an architect or designer is highly recommended for most garage conversion projects. They can help optimize space utilization, ensure structural integrity, navigate local building codes, and create aesthetically pleasing designs that integrate seamlessly with your home. For complex projects, especially those involving significant structural changes or ADUs, their expertise is invaluable. This professional input is a crucial preparation step, as good design upfront can prevent costly issues and revisions during construction.",
