        "text": "Most standard basement finishing projects take between 6 to 12 weeks of active construction once permits are approved. The total timeline depends primarily on the square footage, layout complexity, and whether you include custom features like wet bars, full bathrooms, or subflooring systems. Preliminary steps such as architectural design, plan review, and city permitting can add 3 to 6 weeks before physical work starts. Major schedule drivers include waiting on rough-in inspections from local building authorities before insulation and drywall installation can begin.",
