A long list of construction professionals has been doing exactly that for the last 30 years by working with Digital Canal’s industry-leading software. SolidBuilder streamlines the design process, promoting unmatched accuracy and providing users with flexibility. SolidBuilder design programs for subcontractors focuses both on the architectural and construction aspects of a project. SolidBuilder does not allow you to design anything that cannot be built. So, as a result, you don’t risk generating a plan set that you find out later can’t be built the way that it is designed. Our SolidBuilder design software programs have been a solution that construction professionals have relied upon for decades. This is software that was developed by builders, for builders.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Feature rich, targeted at smaller practices with a focus on interior design. Outright purchase option. Very easy and simple to use. The software takes features from various well-liked CAD software and combines it into a single flexible but easy to use package. Cons Nothing works properly, commands don't function as intended. Parts of model disappear for no reason at any time they like. Models corrupt easily - the accepted fix for this is to delete and start again. Not that I ever managed to complete a project in order to use it, but the sheet layout system is rudimentary. Distributors charge for support as an add on option. It could still be improved for larger more bulky projects. The software is great for small-medium projects but still needs to work on better overall cohesion in documentation. However, this doesn't hinder it's performance.
