        "text": "While it's not always legally mandatory for smaller ADUs, hiring an architect or experienced design professional is highly recommended for a detached ADU project. An architect can optimize space, ensure structural integrity, navigate complex zoning codes, and create a design that complements your existing property. They also play a crucial role in developing detailed plans required for permitting. Our integrated approach includes design services to streamline this process.",
