        "text": "A temporary kitchen can work when the project is properly phased, but an occupied-home expansion still creates dust, noise, access restrictions, and utility interruptions. Elite Remodeling & Design can discuss sequencing and site coordination during planning.\n\n**Context:** Keeping part of the kitchen active may reduce convenience but extend the schedule or limit demolition access. Closing the full kitchen may shorten some phases while requiring a stronger temporary setup.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Which walls and utilities are being altered\n- Safe separation between living and work areas\n- Material storage and delivery access\n- Household schedule and occupant needs\n\n**Practical guidance:** Decide whether speed or continued partial use matters more. Ask for a site-protection plan covering dust barriers, daily cleanup, material storage, pets, children, and access to the rest of the home.\n\nA realistic occupancy plan reduces stress and protects finished areas.",
