        "text": "The timeline for building a rental ADU can range from 6 to 18 months, depending on factors like permit approval times, design complexity, and construction scheduling. Permitting is a significant variable; for example, in Berkeley or Oakland, permit processing can sometimes take several months. Gathering all necessary property documents and having a clear design plan prepared can help streamline the initial phases.",
