[Q] I am a professional designer - will this software be ok for me to use as it seems to do everything I want and is very inexpensive?
[A] No. This software is designed for the novice and home user, and for that purpose it is the best there is. As a professional you will want to do more than this will do. Professionals should select Designer Pro or Designer Pro PLUS as these have more flexibility and more detailed tools for construction drawings and fully dimensioned drawings for planning authorities etc.
[Q] How easy is this software to use really? I don't want to waste too much time learning.
[A] This program is the easiest of all home design programs to learn and use - almost everything is automatic and so long as you view the tutorials you'll be designing your dream home in no time.
[Q] What makes this software different from the really cheap ones sold in retail stores?
[A] There are currently five variations of the software for non-professional home users. This is the top of that range and has more features and a bigger library. The cheaper retail store versions are more restricted in what you can do. From this web site we do not sell the lesser amateur retail store editions.
[Q] Can I download this software or do you send it in the mail?
[A] Because the software is so comprehensive and the videos we supply are on DVD we physically ship the software to your address.
[Q] Can I install the software in Multiple Computers?
[A] Licenses of Architectural Home Designer can be installed on up to three different computers at a time for personal use. If you wish to install on a fourth computer, you will need to first uninstall off of one of the computers while an Internet connection is active.
