ᐅ Basic floor plan software

Hello everyone,

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!

Sure?

When someone writes here, "attached are the latest plans from our architect," I also tend to think that the respective homeowners cannot distinguish a mere draftsman or stamp approver from a "real" architect. However, I do not get the impression that a salesperson is meant in such cases. In other words, it seems that they have actually spoken with someone who created the drawings discussed with them.

So, we hadn’t seen any. Even then, “we won’t sign the contract with such a draft. It can’t be that it has to be like this.”

So, we have now finalized the plan in Homebyme and have already had a preliminary discussion with a potential general contractor. How can I effectively export my sketches from Homebyme so that your expert eyes can take a meaningful look and offer suggestions?

Does anyone have experience with this?

The problem is that you don’t have any measurements there. Either work with reference furniture (table, cabinet, bed) or take your own measurements and upload a screenshot here.
