        "text": "When building a granny flat, utility considerations are paramount. This includes establishing separate or shared connections for water, sewer, electricity, and gas. The feasibility and cost can vary significantly depending on the existing utility infrastructure of your main residence and the requirements of local utility providers in areas such as Dublin or Livermore. A crucial preparation step is to understand if your existing services can support an additional unit or if upgrades to main lines, panels, or meters will be necessary, as these can add considerable cost and complexity to the project.",
