Developed
specifically to automate the design and presentation of residential
and light commercial construction projects, SoftPlan allows you
to build a model of your project on your computer before you build
it on the lot. SoftPlan’s “virtual model” design
gives you complete working drawings and realistic 3D renderings.
From quality and speed second to none to easy automated features,
drawing in SoftPlan offers the convenience and accuracy of detailed
floor plans using familiar objects such as walls, windows, and doors,
automatic or custom roofs, site plans based on engineering data,
instant cross sections and elevations and much more.

Easier
Drawing Through Object Orientation:
SoftPlan’s learning curve is the absolute shortest in the
industry, and object orientation is one of the key reasons SoftPlan
has established such an extensive and varied range of users. SoftPlan
allows you to draw with fully assembled items such as walls, windows,
beams, etc. Therefore, you do not need to learn a whole new language
or x,y,z coordinates to effectively use the program. Because SoftPlan
is an object oriented design program, users of this software are
only responsible for designing floor plans. Once the floor plan
designs have been completed, SoftPlan automatically creates elevations,
cross sections, roof framing, wall framing and much more! |

Profit
With Greater Speed:
Not only does SoftPlan make the design process easier, it greatly
impacts your bottom line profits by increasing the speed at which
designs can be created and edited. One of the keys to SoftPlan’s
timesaving characteristics is automation. SoftPlan has been designed
with specific tools that eliminate the unnecessary and repetitive
tasks that conventional CAD packages require. For example, through
the SoftTalk module you are able to do what no other CAD program
in the world enables you to do, and that is simply speak your way
from concept to completed drawing. |

Achieve
a Higher Level of Client Relations:
Although SoftPlan is an exceptional design tool, it is a practical
and necessary sales tool as well. Through SoftList,
it has the capability to provide you with accurate material lists
and cost estimates. Through SoftView,
it automatically renders your floor plan into an amazingly realistic
visual presentation. Your clients will be pleased at how precise
and meticulous their estimate is and amazed when they can actually
see a 3D rendering right from the start! This alone will aid in
building your reputation and increasing the number of jobs you will
secure. |

"Revisions are a snap"
There is no way to draw a floor plan any faster than with SoftPlan. Even if all you work with are floor plans, SoftPlan is for you. My revisions are a snap. I design a wide variety of homes - simple to very complex with all types of foundations. SoftPlan is so perfect for what I do because it is specifically programmed to design and detail residential homes.
