        "text": "The cost is driven less by the drawing itself than by the scope the new layout creates. Moving a sink, range, refrigerator, walls, lighting, ventilation, or electrical service can affect labor, materials, permits, and finish repairs; cabinetry, countertops, and appliances also contribute substantially. A same-footprint redesign may control costs, while an open-plan concept can add structural and utility work. Ask for separate allowances or line items for design, demolition, cabinets, utilities, finishes, and contingency. Elite Remodeling & Design can evaluate layout alternatives within a broader remodeling plan rather than pricing an isolated sketch.",
