        "text": "Keep the footprint when the existing size works and you want fewer variables; change it when access, storage, drainage, or daily use is more important than minimizing construction. Context: A layout change can affect plumbing, framing, waterproofing, flooring, door clearances, and approval requirements. Key factors: bathroom dimensions; drain location; control placement; entry width; niche or bench needs; and nearby fixtures. Practical guidance: Mark the desired entry, controls, shelves, and spray direction on a simple sketch before design begins, and ask for a scaled layout or 3D view. Elite Remodeling & Design includes layout development and 3D visualization among its planning capabilities.",

A new layout can add plumbing, framing, waterproofing, flooring, and approval work, so review a scaled plan before committing."
