Building Design Software "that gets the job done"

SoftPlan and SoftPlan Lite are CAD based architectural design software programs specifically written for the building industry.

SoftPlan, a CAD program with a difference.SoftPlan has specific drawing tools that provide fast drafting of residential and light commercial floor plans. Use SoftPlan's easy to use drawing tools to create the Floor Plans, then let the power of SoftPlan automatically generate the Elevations, Cross Sections, 3D Images and Material list directly from the floor plan.

Unlike many other CAD programs, SoftPlan draws with components, walls, joists, beams etc, not with lines representing items. Because SoftPlan only draws buildings it understands common building terms like walls, footings, rafters and many other building members. See how easy specific building tools will make drafting by sending for your FREE demonstration pack with interactive tutorial style demonstration and trial DVD.

SoftPlan has many features including full 3D image rendering with light sources, reflections and shadows. Backgrounds can be placed behind generated images for a realistic view of the finished project. 3D images can be viewed from any angle inside or out, while using the sun options to produce accurate shadow studies for better designing.

Ideal for extensions, renovations, kitchen, bathroom, decking and pergola construction, stair and landing tools all combine to provide complete house design or separate project drawings for materials and images.

Communicate with your customers, field staff and anybody else connected with your projects via SoftPlan reView. The reView module allows open access of SoftPlan drawings so that anybody can view, print (with permission) and comment on. The viewer is free to download and is simple to use.

Compare the many features of SoftPlan to your current CAD system or just browse through some of the finer points that make SoftPlan "More than just another CAD system, but a program that you can build a business on" Supplied with FREE support, detailed printed user guide, no yearly fees, FREE updates within a version and FREE membership to SoftPlan users group, SPLASH.

SoftPlan is a true "Picture-torial Estimating System" instead of using a tabular input system where numbers are displayed like a spread sheet. SoftPlan uses a drawing to create a Detailed Estimate of materials including labour and waste. This method is far advanced, as they say "a picture is worth a thousand words", in this case all the materials calculated from the floor plan.

Site Plan mode will generate a footprint of the building on the site. Enter spot heights and SoftPlan will generate contour lines. Services like power, telephone, water etc can be indicated along with contours and building setbacks. For those that require Town Planning type documents the neighbourhood feature provides an easy method to produce street scapes, shadow diagrams and layouts for multiple dwelling site plans. 

For those that like using CAD but need their drawings to still have that personal touch of the drawing board. There are many options that will make your drawings stand out in the crowd. Like Printer / Plotter pen or line styles.

And now with SoftTalk "Voice activated control software"selecting of menus and drop down lists is as simple as talking your way through the drawing.
