Does any one know if there is any free to use software for drawing scale plans for a small house extension?
I don't really want to do the pencil and paper thing, but i may have to resort to that! |

I downloaded a thing called "Sweet Home 3D", but I was only using it to decide how much more junk I could fit in the shed and still get the cars in. www.sweethome3d.com if you want to have a play with it. |

Draftsight is a free approximate copy of Autocad.
We use it at work for simple stuff. I drew my back garden and planned garage extension on it, full size, obviously you print it to scale.
Its not building planning specific, its just drawing software, I don't know if thats what you wanted.

RoomArranger. I have been drawing the plans for the rebuild/merge of my house in 2006. Then have drawed the garage extension a few years later and now are using the software to see what can be improved. Plan to build two bedrooms on top of the garage, a new kitchen and a new bathroom. So, very happy with the software. It is intuitive, easy to make changes so that alternative plans can be compared. Measurements can be very exact. You can put in your furniture in to scale to see what placements works best in your living room / kitchen etc. I even got my cars to scale! RoomArranger is the software I use. First used it on Windows and now on the Mac. Not free but not expensive either (€25 euros I believe), there is a free tryout for the first month (at least there was when I started with it).  |
