        "text": "The typical timeline for a side home addition can range from several months to over a year, depending on the project's scale and complexity. Initial phases include design and permitting, which alone can take 2-4 months in areas like Berkeley or Oakland due to local review processes. Construction then follows, involving foundation work, framing, roofing, exterior finishes, and interior build-out. Material lead times, subcontractor availability, and unforeseen site conditions can extend this timeline. Timely decision-making on finishes and fixtures can help keep the project on schedule.",
