FreeGreen offers both Sponsored and Non-Sponsored or clean House Plans. Our goal in this offering is to give our users choice. You can either download our Non-Sponsored Premium Plans as soon as they are released for a nominal fee (currently $19.95 a year for unlimited downloads) or wait for us to line up sponsors, and only download our Free House Plans. Now downloading over 36,000 free house plans a year, and with hundreds of Premium Members we believe that we are now truly changing the residential housing landscape.

Our Premium Users also get access to our house plans editable CAD files, $1000’s of exclusive vendor product discounts, and 50% off all house plan customization work done by FreeGreen. With this Premium Membership is a great way for FreeGreen to offer valuable (Non-Sponsored) resources to our users for a price that is unheard of in the house plan industry.

Our theory around our Free House Plans is as follows:

No longer are homes made from simple raw materials. Today’s homes are assembled from a complex combination of existing products and service providers. With this transition in home assembles, product placement has become a natural part of the home design process (especially in green homes). From choosing cabinets that work with your kitchen, to making sure your insulation performs well and contributes to good indoor air quality, it all comes down to the products that we choose. FreeGreen has taken advantage of this progression in construction reality to create a symbiotic environment where the placement of our sponsor or vendor products allows us to create better, more usable house plans for our users, while giving us the ability to offer those same house plans for free. That said, we are not shy in saying that: FreeGreen would not exist without paid placement from product manufacturers, and all product or service provider placements should be considered advertising. In the same way that television has used advertiser revenues to bring us our favorite programs for free, FreeGreen, is using house plan product placement to promote and disseminate green design for free.

In order to avoid product bias, we present every product and material in a fair and clear light. Users can see ratings from established third-party green certification programs such as LEED and NAHB for each product (good or bad), or research performance through our energy modeling reports. Our goal is to show you a multitude of material and product possibilities through various lenses, including quality, health, and energy performance.

We encourage users of this website to help us develop new designs. Feel free to tell us about the products and features you would like to see in our upcoming plans.
