For the money, it was more useful than I had expected

- by Reviewer: Mark "mconstruction7" (US)

For the money, Better Homes & Gardens Home Designer Suite 6.0 was the best, and it could read the plans in 3D Home Architect 4.0 - which was great too, but had issues with XP - so I posted on both products. Apparently this is the upgrade to 3D Home Architect - which you can research. I recently designed my garage that I planned to look exactly like my house, complete with Cultured Stone from their library.






All I had to do was draw the walls, install windows, cabinets, doorways, and it automatically built the foundation with the slab. Then the hard part - show my wife in 3D what I was doing, and I had to cut it back in size. I was able to print the plans, and get my building permit with very little work, and probably saved myself a lot money and time, and it was more useful than I had expected.

  • As advertised, no crashes and creates most "normal" houses - This is the right tool in the hundred dollar range for home design. It is simple enough to play with floor plans and let you create and visualize and manipulate them. I've used it a few hours and find it 90% intuitive.

  • A Very Solid Product - I was looking for a software that would let me create a good design of my new house. I am not an architect and I am not interested in details such as plumbing, electrical, framing etc. I just wanted to create the walls, add the doors windows, furniture, stairs, roof, etc.
