        "text": "When planning the framing for a small addition, consider the structural integrity and how it connects to the existing home. Think about the long-term use of the space, window and door placements for natural light and ventilation, and future needs like HVAC and electrical rough-ins. Evaluate material choices (wood vs. steel), local seismic requirements, and potential for advanced framing techniques to enhance energy efficiency. Early consideration of these factors ensures a sturdy, functional, and efficient addition.",
