        "text": "Most basement renovations take between 6 to 12 weeks of active construction once permits are issued and materials arrive. The exact timeline depends heavily on the project scope, such as whether you are adding a full bathroom, wet bar, or egress windows. Pre-construction steps—including design drafting, engineering reviews, and local permit approval—usually add 2 to 4 weeks upfront. Disruptions in material availability or unexpected moisture discoveries during demolition can extend schedules. Having all layout selections, plumbing fixtures, and lighting plans finalized before work starts is the best way to prevent mid-project delays.",
