        "text": "Hillside terrain significantly impacts deck construction costs due to increased engineering requirements, specialized foundation systems (like caissons or helical piles), and more complex material delivery. Sloped sites often necessitate more labor for excavation and material handling compared to flat sites. The steeper the slope, the greater the potential for additional costs related to access and structural support.",
