        "text": "Before meeting with a design-build contractor, gather an updated property survey or plot plan, identify structural pain points in your current kitchen, and list must-have appliances. Check for exterior obstructions where the addition will sit, such as underground utility lines, mature trees, or air conditioning compressors. Having a clear idea of your appliance sizes, storage priorities, and overall investment range allows your contractor to draft realistic preliminary layouts right away.",
