Proud Plumber

Hi everyone, I am new to the site. I am expanding my remodel business. Specifically higher end bath remodels. I was wondering if anyone could suggests a good quality, USER FRIENDLY, bath design software. Cabinets, renderings etc....

I live in southern Florida and have a lot of clients who only visit in the winter. A computer design seems to be the most logical form of presentation.

Thanks, Bill

I use 20/20 and Autocad. 20/20 is good basic program that we use to design kitchens and baths. But it will not calculate square footage. You may want to look at Chief Architech.

That is what I use, Chief Architect. But I am still a rookie with it.

I use Autocad 2002 with custom kitchen and bath design blocks. Importable, explodable, and completely editable. Gives a great presentation in 3d with or without rendering. I stick with ACad because of the versatility of the program. Great for ideas, quick sketches, designs and layouts, and with CADOverlay, you can rasterize existing blueprints to add additions, decks, and landscape architecture. I will take my laptop to a cleint for presentations with autocad, work hand in hand to design their project on their kitchen counter,a nd print them out an 8.5x11 or 11x17 print right there for them to look over.
