Home Designer Suite

This program is terrific for quick and easy layouts and for putting in lots of little details too. My wife and I will be building a retirement home and have made six versions so far, each one building upon the previous version. Were still not there, but getting close. Its easy and intuitive to use, and the users guide and online tutorials explain things extremely well. We will give the finished product to a few builders so bidding will be apples to apples. The only problem is its so much fun, Ive been up til 2, 3 or 4 in the morning playing with it! Highly recommended.

very hard to use. waste of money. I want my money back!!!!!!!!

I was able to start very quickly and build a basic floorplan. The program has amazing details that can be incorporated and it is easy to learn from the extensive video library.

I purchased this product for a remodeling project that would redo a screened porch on our home. On the MacBook, some of the basic user interface operations such as panning and 3D model reorientation are cumbersome or impossible to perform. The program contains architectural jargon that is not easy to interpret by a non-professional. Schedules and layouts that are in Chief Architect appear to be missing In this version (or I have not found them yet). Some automatic operations which appear to be helpful at first become a problem when specific areas of the design are customized then return to the default values.

Tried buying this again, assuming/hoping it would now be the up-to-date version. But, alas, no. It was the 2021 version again. And, it doesnt matter if you buy this as a download or on a USB stick; itll be the 2021 version either way.

to use, need to purchase upgrades, simple needed dropdowns not available unless upgraded, items shown on basic tutorial... find something else, have had minor cad experience so im not a total greenhorn

Facile dutilisation, donne de bons résultats.

It is a good program but takes time to learn.

We are building in the spring and I am loving this design program. It is very easy to learn to use, has lots of practical features. I started working on it today and already have a basic floor plan that we can continue to tweak over the winter.

The software is easy to use but basic. Ok for making models in the most basic form. To turn it into a useful form you have to purchase upgrades. If you have that money to spend, buy a proper piece of software.
