My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

They remedied the original issue. Had to talk to sales, but they handled it and pretty well too...more words, more words.

We use Chief Architect every single day and it is an absolutely indispensable part of our business. The ability to show a client, with extreme accuracy, what a space will look like before the work has even begun in everything.

I use Chief Architect software exclusively in my design business. I started out with CA Home Designer Pro, used that for two years, then "graduated" to the full-blown Chief Architect software. The structure and platform of all their products is identical so, moving up to the next, greater version is SO comfortable! I'm getting raves about the work I'm doing - thank you, Chief Architect!!!

I've had great results using this software. I started with Home Designer Pro and then moved to Chief Architect Premier. I really like the way the software is setup, its much easier to use than other products. My clients love the 3D renderings and I know it's helped me get new projects. Great job Chief Architect team!

I am an interior design professional who has been using Chief Architect software for my business since 2010. The software is a very powerful tool I use on all my projects and allows me to create detailed plans, elevations and very impressive 3D renderings for my clients. The software has taken time to learn, but the support from Chief is quick and helpful, and the tools including videos and online forums also very helpful.

Our favorite software I have been using chief for about 6 years now, I believe I started in x4. Chief was the clear choice for architectural design and plan sets, with its import and export into other CAD and BIM based products, its extensive catalogs, its massive collection of support articles, bustling internet forums and decent rendering abilities. There is no other software on the market that is as user friendly, capable and fast. We’ve recently started using chief architect for market advertisements as well as importing into high end visual video walkthrough software such as Lumion. We’re quite happy with Chief’s versatility and ever expanding features.

The best home design software we've ever used! Finally a program that works or "thinks" like a designer as opposed to a program for the manufacturer of boxes or materials. Great quality renderings too.
