        "text": "Timelines vary widely based on project size, scope complexity, permit approvals, and material availability. A standard residential bathroom or kitchen remodel often spans six to twelve weeks, while ground-up custom homes or extensive commercial renovations frequently take six to twelve months or longer. Key factors that can extend schedules include long lead times for custom windows or cabinetry, adverse weather, unexpected hidden damage discovered behind existing drywall, and owner-initiated change orders during construction. A general contractor creates a critical-path project schedule to stage trade contractors sequentially, mitigating downtime between tasks.",
