Complete Floor Plan Software for Professional House Plans
The complete house plan software for contractors and custom home builders. Draw a floor plan once and get your project’s documents (floor plans, roof plan, cross sections, elevations, surface area tables), updated automatically as the design changes.
The Complete House Plan Software: Draw Once, Generate Everything
Stop duplicating your work across multiple programs. Cedreo is complete floor plan software that gives you a full set of plans from a single drawing. Draw your layout once. Cedreo builds the 3D model as you go and generates 2D floor plans, cross sections, and exterior elevations. Furnish the 3D model from the built-in catalog. Any design change updates them all automatically. It’s the only tool contractors and builders need to take a project from first sketch to final presentation.
Draw Floor Plans in Minutes, Not Weeks
Skip the steep learning curve. This floor plan software lets contractors, remodelers, and builders sketch complete layouts with simple tools.
Map out walls, insert doors and windows, and define rooms for any residential project. Designing accurate floor plans is straightforward, so you can focus on the build rather than the software.
Make a Design Change, and Your Plans Update Automatically
When a client asks for a layout change, you shouldn’t have to redraw your plans from scratch.
In Cedreo, your plans come from one design. Move a wall or expand a room, and all your house plans update automatically in real time.
That saves hours of manual revisions and always keeps your plans up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between floor plan software and house plan software?
Floor plan software draws the layout of a building seen from above: walls, rooms, doors, windows, and dimensions. House plan software goes further and produces the full set of plans used to design and present a home project. In addition to the floor plan, it creates the 3D floor plan, roof plan, cross sections, elevations, site plan, and surface area tables.
Cedreo does both. You draw the floor plan once, and all of those plans come from that same design. When you change the layout, all the plans update automatically, so you never have to redraw or check each view separately.
What is house plan software and what is it used for?
House plan software is a floor planning tool that lets you create a variety of plans: 2D floor plans, 3D floor plans, cross sections, elevations, roof plans, and basic electrical layouts. It captures a home’s layout, rooms, and lot orientation, including structural elements like walls, partitions, doors, and windows.
Cedreo is professional floor plan software used to create precise, high-precision plans clients and construction teams can understand. It also produces 2D and 3D visuals useful for new construction, home renovation, interior design, and real estate agents.
What’s the best floor plan software for contractors and home builders?
The best floor plan software for contractors and home builders is fast to learn, produces the plans a residential project needs, and keeps those plans consistent when the design changes. Traditional CAD and architectural programs like Chief Architect are powerful, but they take weeks to master and are often more complex than residential projects require.
Cedreo is designed for contractors and builders who need to design and sell projects quickly:
- Draw floor plans with drag-and-drop tools, or trace an existing plan imported as a JPEG, PNG, PDF, DWG, or DXF file.
- Generate roof plans, cross sections, elevations, site plans, and surface area tables from the same design.
- Every plan updates automatically when you make a change based on client feedback.
- Create photorealistic 3D renderings and branded presentation documents for client meetings.
- Work 100% online from any computer, with no installation.
Most users complete a full house plan set in under two hours.
What are the advantages of Cedreo compared with other floor plan software?
Cedreo is backed by responsive customer support (by phone, chat, or email), so professionals get fast, practical help.
The software evolves continuously, with regular updates that integrate advanced features requested by users.
Because it’s 100% online, Cedreo is always up to date without installation or manual updates. It runs on any computer with an internet connection…no supercomputer required.
It’s an all-in-one solution that makes it easy to create every graphic document you need: 2D and 3D floor plans, site plans, sections, elevations, and photorealistic renderings. That reduces tool sprawl and saves valuable time.
Key features for creating floor plans include:
- Easy import of existing floor plans in JPEG, PNG, PDF, DWG, or DXF formats to use as trace layers.
- One-click addition of levels, making multi-story projects faster to produce.
- A large library with 1,500+ door and window options, with the ability to save favorites.
- Project-wide global parameters to standardize elements across the design.

These strengths make Cedreo a complete floor plan design software perfect for the needs of modern construction and renovation professionals.
How long does it take to create a 2D and 3D house plan with Cedreo?

That timing includes concept design plus time spent preparing presentation documents. For 3D renderings, photorealistic generation takes just a few minutes, which simplifies client presentations.
How do you choose software to create floor plans?
Several criteria matter when choosing floor plan drawing software:
- Ease of use: Choose an intuitive interface with reliable customer support and helpful tutorials.
- Features: Check that the software generates all necessary plans, performs automatic surface calculations, supports common import/export formats, and includes an extensive library of products and materials.
- Accessibility: Online software lets you work from any device, with cloud storage tied to your account, and ensures you always have the latest features without maintenance or manual updates.
It’s also nice if you can test the software for free to make sure it fits into your workflow before you commit.
