I have already read similar threads on this topic, but many people were looking for something specific (3D visualization, multi-level objects, etc.).
My wife and I now have very clear ideas about how we want the floor plan of our new build to look. Since we apparently lack the ability to communicate our exact wishes precisely to potential general contractors, I would like to take the floor plan design into my own hands. I find SweetHome3D frustrating because, in my opinion, it is not intuitive and rather complicated to use. I just need simple software where I can quickly draw walls, measure the remaining square meters (square feet) of each enclosed room (no furniture, 3D visualization, or anything like that needed), and place windows and doors.
Can anyone help me (preferably with free software) or give recommendations?
Best regards!

Pencil, graph paper, ruler
Free, intuitive, and easy to use.
Good enough for a floor planThe problem is that I need the floor plan in a digital format to share it more easily and to be able to modify it...
Even easier than SweetHome3D? Then there’s really nothing left but paper, a ruler, and a pencil.
How do you plan to create an exact floor plan yourself? Especially if you lack software and experience, or if even SweetHome3D requires too much time to learn? Don’t take this the wrong way, but just make a hand sketch 😉

The detailed digital floor plan will then be created by the company, and afterwards you can sit down with the relevant parties to make the fine adjustments. But for a rough floor plan like the one you want to draw, the pencil method is completely sufficient.
