Since the very our first project together in Mill Valley, CA 20 years ago, John and his team have been an invaluable resource to me. John’s incredible breath of knowledge and his tactful guidance have help me avoid many problems and pitfalls. 10 years ago, we bought some land far off the grid in Big Sur, CA, and have been developing our homestead ever since. John helped us set a high bar for the quality of the design and construction while also showing us how to manage the incredible number of details we needed to track to get it done. I simply could not have done it without him! Recently his team did a scan of my property and the point cloud is amazing. It is allowing me to design and build at a whole new level.

My project hit some serious snags resulting in a complete work stoppage. With no idea what to do next and many sleepless nights, I engaged John for assistance. He quickly identified the issues, provided new ways to think about the project and put together a plan to get us back on track. His process was very straightforward and leveraged current 3D drafting technology to eliminate any possibility of guesswork. John and his process have saved me considerable time and money and I now look forward to a successful project outcome. No more lost sleep!!

I hired John Fraine and Shawn Berry to remodel my first home in 1993. Almost 3,000 sq ft and in poor shape, the house needed a huge makeover. When they were finished, I didn’t recognize the house. The plans, construction, and finishes were priced with wonderful transparency, so I knew exactly what was happening at every step. I trust John to always use the most modern technology and to help me visualize how my home will turn out. Today I still turn to John to advise me, most recently on a conforming issue for a home I purchased in Mill Valley, CA.
