The Simple Villa House Plan Comes Alive

 

Hello All,

Well with our July 7th deadline looming for the Simple Villa we are working hard.  As you can see from the renderings above it is coming along nicely (we think).  With this design we are creating some real differences in our design palettes.  This of course causes some challenges in the construction documents, but nothing we at FreeGreen can't handle.  We look forward to releasing more this week, and helping you have your dream villa on July 7th.

Quick Update - Keep An Eye Out

Hello All,

Just a quick update tonight:

1) We have now set a date for the release of our next FreeGreen Product Line the Simple Villa.  We are aiming to get this out on July 7th.  We apologize for the slight delay on this but with the July 4th weekend in the way this is what we think is realistic (even FreeGreeners have to take vacations).

2) It looks like we are going to have some big PR announcements coming over the next few days so stay tuned.  We should know more tomorrow or early Friday on this and will certainly let you know as soon as we do.

3) By July 7th we are adding a new feature.  You will now be able to PRINT YOUR PLANS through FreeGreen.  Now we must admit that this will not be a free service.  We did look into it but could not make it work.  For a very competitive $60 per construction document set you will be able to print our plans (in 24" by 36" format) and ship them anywhere in the United States.  For our non-US users we are working on the details for outside the US shipping and will have that up and working soon.  We hope that you will support us through this service and come to use for all of your FreeGreen printing needs.

And For Our Next Trick.....

Hi All,

 

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and interest.  We have now broken 2,000 plan downloads (OK, we will now stop announcing plan download achievements until 10,000), 1,500 registered users, and are getting 30,000 visitors a month.  Again, not too bad for being around for 2 months and a week.

 

So the question that everyone has been asking is:  “what is up FreeGreen’s proverbial sleeves” More...

T - 1 Day and Counting

Hello All,

Just a quick note tonight.  I am proud (after much hard work) to announce that as of tomorrow morning EST we will be launching the long awaited Smart Box Product line.  We all look forward to hearing your comments on this design, and to getting right back to work on next months release.  Thanks to all for the feedback and suggestions as we designed this product.  As always keep the great suggestions and feedback coming.

Also, just so you know, although the design will be going up tomorrow morning, we will be adding some of the more extensive DIY construction details to the CD's in the afternoon.  If you are a DIYer please make sure to wait until Friday afternoon EST to download the plans (or if you want download them twice, why not there Free).

Smart Box Update Part 2

 

Hello All,

Well, the good news is that we are now done with all of the construction documents, and renderings for the Smart Box.  The bad news is that we are really crunched for time on the energy reports and LEED-H checklists for this design.  We are still hoping to have it out on May 30th, but if not it will definitely be out in the first week of June.  We are quite excited about the initial feedback on what we have been able to release to date, as this budget-friendly design seems to be really quenching a thirst out there.  We will keep you up today throughout this week on our progress and look forward to the launch.
