        "text": "You generally need a building permit for any substantial residential remodeling project that involves structural changes, significant modifications to plumbing or electrical systems, or changes to the home's footprint, such as additions or reconfiguring load-bearing walls. Even projects like extensive kitchen or bathroom remodels often require permits to ensure safety and code compliance. We assess your project's scope during the design phase to accurately determine all necessary permits, providing clarity on this crucial step before construction begins.",
