        "text": "The timeline for constructing a granny flat can vary significantly based on factors such as design complexity, local permitting requirements, and the availability of materials and labor. On average, from initial design to completion, a project might take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. This includes the often substantial time required for plan reviews and permit approvals by local jurisdictions in the East Bay area. A practical tradeoff is balancing a faster pre-fabricated option, which might limit customization, against a site-built unit offering greater design flexibility but potentially a longer timeline.",
