Frans has done two separate jobs for me and I can honestly say he is meticulous with the details, creative with design and innovative regarding structural challenges in both of them. He designed a garage conversion and an ADU. When he stresses Quality in his work, he isn’t kidding. I will use him again and again.

Thanks for all the wonderful design you’ve done for us. The total remodel with home elevator and 2 story arboretum. Having you manage all the details and being ready to jump in to see things through to conclusion was really a stress-reliever for us.
