        "text": "Building an in-law suite, often referred to as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in California, requires specific permits from your local city planning and building departments. In cities like Oakland or Fremont, this typically includes zoning approval, architectural review, and various construction permits (electrical, plumbing, mechanical). A critical preparation step is to consult with Hometelligent Inc. early in the process to understand the specific requirements for your property and jurisdiction.",
