In this episode of the Home Expo Podcast, host Tammie Hartman sits down with Olesia Chikunova , founder and CEO of Home WiP , a platform that empowers homeowners to design and build accessory dwelling units with confidence. Olesia shares her journey from a grueling ten-year home build in California to becoming a certified ADU specialist, and offers practical insights on navigating permits, avoiding costly mistakes, understanding modular versus site-built construction, and leveraging 3D visualization tools to make informed decisions. If you're a homeowner, builder, or anyone dreaming of adding an ADU to your property, this conversation is a must-listen.
