About

Home Designer Software is the top-rated 3D interior design, remodeling and home design software. Based on technology from Chief Architect's professional architectural software, Home Designer is made easy for DIY. Discover why Home Designer is the best home design app to visualize and design your next house project. Chief Architect software is the professional tool of choice for architects, home builders, remodelers, and interior designers. Smart building technology makes it easy to create construction drawings, floor plans, elevations, 3D renderings, and 360 panoramic renderings. Chief Architect's software is purpose‑built for residential design with building tools that can automatically generate roofs, foundations, framing, and dimensions. As you draw walls, windows, and doors, the program simultaneously creates a 3D model. These 3D models can be shared with homeowners, structural engineers or subcontractors using the 3D Viewer app.

About

StructSuite is free, browser-based structural design and load-calculation software for residential and light-frame buildings. It designs wood and steel beams and columns to NDS 2024 and AISC 360-22; floor and ceiling joists and rafters using 2024 IBC span tables; wood-frame shear walls drawn on the building plan to SDPWS 2021, with Simpson hold-downs and anchors; isolated and strip footings to ACI 318-25; and cantilever retaining walls with concrete or CMU stems to TMS 402-22. It also calculates dead, live, seismic, and wind loads to ASCE 7-22. Each step shows equations with project values substituted and a book icon quoting the governing code paragraph. The results can be assembled into one calculation report for plan review. The free plan includes every module, unlimited calculations, and one cloud project. Pro adds unlimited projects, PDF reports, and an online verification link for plan checkers; subscriptions cost $100/month or $1,000/year, and a one-week Pro pass costs $50.
