Experiment, Visualize & Plan

What will my remodeling project look like and how much will it cost? Our Home Designer software knows! Create a new room or addition to your home using our home remodeling software’s powerful and easy building tools. You will find a variety of wall styles for both interior and exterior walls. Each wall style has individual layers for siding, stone, sheetrock, sheathing and framing. Every item is included in our materials list spreadsheet – so if you move a wall out 4 feet, you can immediately see the effect of the materials.

Floor & Space Planning

Sizing your rooms for your life style and furnishings is an important step when you build or remodel. You will find thousands of built-in design objects in our home design software that you can place and then resize to your exact dimensions. For example, you can place a dining table, specify a custom size of 4' x 8' and visualize it in a 2D floor plan or in a 3D view to make sure the room size fits your needs. When you design in the 2D floor plan view, you can visualize room size with our Virtual Graph Paper™ that has a one foot grid overlay.

Cost Estimating and Materials List

Materials Lists & Cost Estimating

Don’t be surprised by the cost of your project. Automatically generate a complete spreadsheet for your project costs, broken down by category. The materials list includes doors, windows, cabinets, countertops, flooring, concrete, framing and more. You can also copy and paste from our spreadsheet to other software programs and continue estimating for your remodeling project.
