        "text": "While both an ADU and a guest house provide additional living space, the primary difference often lies in regulatory definitions and utility requirements. ADUs are specifically defined by state and local laws, often requiring full kitchens and bathrooms, making them suitable for independent living or rental. Guest houses typically have fewer requirements, such as lacking a full kitchen, and are primarily for temporary stays. An ADU contractor ensures your project meets the specific legal definition and requirements for an ADU.",
