What Are True-Wall ™ Templates?
True-Wall ™ Templates are our proprietary GreenCube ™ templates, which you can use with free SweetHome 3D software or SketchUp's free version.

Our GreenCube 3D ™ templates come in an easy-to-use package that includes the free SweetHome 3D software.

All of our templates include the True-Wall ™ technology in our Container home designs.True-Wall ™ House Plans' vs Standard House Plans.

There are many, many websites out there offering Container Home Plans. These websites are not affiliated with the ISBU Association or the Container Dealers Association. 

Note that plans from other websites are also not actually designed for Container Architecture and are not usable. We have received many complaints about these Plans at other websites recently. [see example 'B']

However, True-Wall ™ Templates from Green Quest Engineering include the true double walls with the correct dimensions you must have when creating the designs and planning a Container home, office, or cabin.

As shown in the above graphic, the True-Wall ™ 'A' shows a wall section where two (2) ISBU modules are connected, and the other portions are cut out to make large rooms. Graphic ‘A’ shows the double wall of two ISBU side-by-side, compared to Graphic ‘B’, which shows only a standard wall. Please note that the True-Wall ™ in graphic ‘A’ is approximately 60% thicker than the same wall in graphic ‘B’.  That’s a significant difference in calculations and final drawings.

Below is a 3D view enlargement of Example ‘A’ making it easier to see the plan is made with two (2) ISBU with portions of the walls cut away to create a larger room.

If you do not have plans with True-Wall ™ technology, the entire size and design will be flawed, unusable, and quite off the proper scale when you attempt to submit them to an Architect or local City Planning Department.

When professional architects and engineers draw a Container home using ISBU modules, they draw them with the ‘true container walls’ showing them as double when containers are connected. That is very different than most Container Home Plans you purchase on the Internet from the fake websites and fake architects.

All the Container home plans and designs offered by the Container Home Association are the True-Wall ™ templates designed from the same professional CAD we sell to the Architects and Engineers.

We have been the global source of Container 2D and 3D CAD to global professionals for 18 years. All our DIY templates have the same, proper walls and dimensions you require for accuracy.

Simply, our Container Home Plans cost less, and are more accurate….
