Caleb Blair
Caleb Blair builds ADUs — and only ADUs. As the founder of Origin ADU, a design-build company working in Colorado and Texas, he and his team have designed and built dozens of accessory dwelling units for every kind of use: homes for aging parents, care-ready homes that bring a loved one back from a nursing home, and rental units for owners and investors.
The ADU Insights guides are the team’s compilation of thousands of hours of ADU design and building — the questions they ask every client before anything is drawn, the construction details they won’t compromise on, and the lessons from homes that are now lived in.
Caleb writes from construction experience, not medical, legal or financial expertise. Where a topic calls for those, the guides say so and point you to the right professional.
