        "text": "ADU construction costs vary significantly based on size, complexity of design, materials chosen, site conditions, and utility hookups. For instance, converting an existing garage is often less expensive than building a new detached unit. Preparing for this, consider your budget range and what features are essential for a desirable rental versus what might be considered an upgrade, as these choices directly impact the overall investment.",
