What Our Customers Are Saying About Home Designer Software

I highly recommend the purchase of this product.

Very easy to get started and to use. Functionality is very intuitive. Within a couple of hours I completed a layout of the first and second floors as well as the garage and basement of my house. I’m now progressing with the interior room partitions, stairs, doors, windows and room labels.

In the last couple of days I was able to correctly build the garage roof as well as the porch roof. I have also built a 24’x32’ barn properly located relative to the 5 acre property perimeter as well as from the house; built a stream across the property as well as a driveway and parking area. I am now working on the land elevations and slope across the property.

I continue to find its functionality as very intuitive and I am very satisfied and happy with my progress.

Absolutely Love

I just got done spending a total of 2 1/2 hours on the phone with tech and customer support to install a new program on a brand new computer. I was actually in tears at the end from their patience and knowledge and desire to help get me set up. Their knowledge and expertise is mind blowing. Forget the fact that you actually immediately get to talk to a real person. Nathan, Vince, and Kim have earned my respect and love today. 

Undoubtedly The Best

Home Designer Professional is undoubtedly the best. The bang for the buck you get with Home Designer far exceeds anything else, and it is the most suitable design software I found for residential and light commercial design.

There are plenty of well-made tutorials on the website that are suitable for beginner and experienced users alike. The software is very user-friendly, and it is easy to figure out. I highly recommend Home Designer.

Beautiful 3D Rendering

While a hand-drawn and colored rendering can be very beautiful, Home Designer’s 3D renderings can come very close. Minus the angst…when a design change is called for.

And just as importantly, 3D renderings aid homeowners when making important selections. Such as: siding, windows, roofing, cabinetry, fixtures and all exterior and interior finish materials. How disappointing to spend thousands of dollars on a large ticket item to discover that it doesn’t look the way you thought it would…doesn’t fulfill your dream.

This program is SO easily navigable

Any teenager who exhibits the slightest bit of interest in design, blueprints, or construction, NEEDS this program.  It could very well be the avenue to a new beginning for the rest of their life.   

When I found a copy of Home Designer Suite as a young child, my life changed. Chief Architect opened up a world of creativity that I knew I possessed. I felt like a 15-year-old architect.

Now, as a professional photographer, one of my favorite features about Home Designer is that I can add my own photography inside the homes I design – my personal touch. This program is SO easily navigable, that anyone can learn it at their own pace. I had no prior knowledge other than what I taught myself by connecting lines together and building from there.  I am so excited to keep building both homes, and my own creativity! – Thanks to Chief Architect!  

Home Designer Suite

I love how easy it is to change wall and flooring colors and material in Home Designer, and laying out tiles on my floor to illustrate how they might look on the shower walls was the perfect “real life” companion to the e-drawing. I surprised myself with how similar the final laundry/bath was to the design.

Home Designer Suite

I have tried using other CAD programs in the past and found them extremely difficult to use. I find Home Designer software to be logical and fairly easy to use. I did quite a bit of research before I first purchased Home Designer and have not ever been sorry…

Home Designer Architectural

Building a log home has enough differences that a simple home designer tool just didn’t cut it. After trying a few different tools I finally found Chief Architect’s Home Designer software and when I put our plans into the Architectural edition it all came together.

Home Designer Architectural

I have been using Chief Architect’s Home Designer for about three years now and it has done so many important projects that I wouldn’t have been able to complete without it.

Home Designer Architectural

Just bought your House Designer software yesterday. (Been trying it out for a couple of weeks). I’m using it to design the house that I always dream about and I want to share with you that I love your product to death.

I have been testing out several other software – online & desktop. None came close. They’re so complicated and troublesome that I thought that it was me being helplessly stupid and therefore not being able to use them. Rarely, have I encountered a software like yours, one that can EASILY and INTUITIVELY do what I wish for and then more.

We sometimes voice our opinion because we have something to complain about. But not this time for me. Kudos to you for such an awesome piece of software.

Thank you so much for saving my time and helping me to see what my dream home looks like before actually building it! Keep up the good work!

I haven’t been this excited about software in a long time.

I downloaded the Home Designer trial and fell in love immediately. I wished I had known about it sooner. I was so jazzed I couldn’t sleep and stayed up all night “playing” (I mean, working and exploring). I haven’t been this excited about software in a long time. I loved the various 3D view options (Standard, Glass, Technical, and Watercolor). I also loved the ability to start with a specific architectural style and then everything created is already kickstarted in that style.
