Design workbench in FreeCAD that allows for ready creation of modified versions of the Seed Eco-Home. Intended for builders, contractors, architects, and other critters. The simple breakdown is as follows:

1. Foundation: - foundation form plan and staking, footer, rebar pattern, etc for any specific footprint of the Seed Eco-Home. Includes rough plumbing design. Outputs a set of technical drawings with annotations regarding sequence for stringing, squaring, and other important notes.
2. Sill Plate: - generates technical drawings for the sill plate including anchor spacing and specification.
3. 1st Floor Framing: - generates the framing, sheathing, and apertures for the first floor wall modules and garage modules. Generates one technical drawing for each module. Considers the 1300 sf version symmetry 2' filler modules)
