Import Any Plan File and Duplicate Projects as Reusable Templates
Import scalable plan files (DWG, DXF, PDF, JPG, or PNG) directly into the floor plan maker, then draw new layers over the imported plan. From there, duplicate the project to create reusable templates you can easily adapt for future designs.
Trace Full Wall Layouts and Resize Any Section With One Click & Drag
Trace load-bearing walls and add partitions in minutes. Then draw the floor plan continuously by left-clicking wherever you need to create an angle or corner in the home design. To resize, drag and drop the wall and move it to expand or compress the layout.
See a Live 3D View While Drawing in 2D – No Switching Views
The 3D view window allows you to visualize your design in real-time while drawing in 2D, providing clarity during the design process and saving time.
Add Room Names, Wall Types, and Color Codes Directly on the Plan
Customize and organize your plan by adding room names & wall types, technical symbols, and color-coded areas.
Room Dimensions Update Automatically as You Adjust Walls
As you adjust walls or resize rooms, area calculations update automatically in real time. It’s easy to view the area of each room, as well as the overall living space, site area, and glazed area.
Choose From 2,000+ Doors and Windows and Customize in One Click
Add doors and windows that match room function, dimensions, and style. Each opening added to the home plan is displayed on the 2D floor plan with a symbol. Easily customize the color of 1 or all openings, the opening direction, orientation, and depth. Then duplicate customized openings in just one click.
Dimensions Appear Automatically, Then Add Custom Annotations Where Needed
Dimensions automatically appear on your plan to make it easier to read. With a few clicks, you can add user-defined dimension lines and annotations where you need more detail.
One-Click Roof Generation Based on Your Floor Plan Footprint

Floor Plan Maker FAQs
Let’s cover some frequently asked questions about creating floor plans.
When evaluating any floor plan tool, the key criteria are interface simplicity, library depth, and output flexibility, such as printing to scale, DXF export for CAD handoff, and client presentations. Cedreo is built to meet all of these requirements without requiring CAD or design training. Cedreo also supports metric and imperial units, multi-level floor plans, and real-time area calculations that update automatically as walls are adjusted.
The easiest way to create a floor plan is to use Cedreo’s click-and-drag wall drawing system where dimensions and area calculations update in real time as the layout takes shape. Add doors, windows, furniture, and fixtures from a library of 7,000+ items, and the 3D view renders simultaneously so there’s no need to switch between modes. Plans are stored in the cloud, accessible from any device with an internet connection. For construction professionals who need to produce accurate plans quickly and without design software experience, this workflow significantly reduces the time from brief to finished plan.
Cedreo includes tools for designing outdoor spaces as part of the same workflow used for interior floor plans. Users can define exterior zones like patios, gardens, pool areas, add outdoor furniture, and visualize how natural light falls across the site. The site plan feature supports terrain modeling, driveways, and landscaping elements alongside the building footprint. This makes it possible to deliver a complete site and building presentation within a single project file.
Cedreo is the best floor plan creator for residential contractors and builders. It produces a complete set of house plans in two hours, with automatic area calculations, 7,000+ furniture items, and export to JPG or DXF… no design software experience needed. Construction professionals worldwide rely on the platform for home construction, renovation, and light commercial projects.
Cedreo accepts imported files in DWG, DXF, PDF, JPG, and PNG formats, which you can load directly into the workspace as a reference layer. Once imported, users draw new walls and elements over the existing plan without altering the original file. This workflow is common among remodelers and contractors who are working from as-built drawings, architect-provided files, or client sketches. For renovation and addition projects, it eliminates the need to redraw a property from scratch before design work can begin.
Cedreo exports completed floor plans in formats such as PDF for printing to scale, DXF for handoff to CAD programs, and PNG or JPG for digital sharing. The PDF export includes scale settings, so you can use the plans as for contractor documentation. DXF output lets the design continue in AutoCAD or similar software when required by a project team or municipality. For construction professionals who need to share designs across different workflows and stakeholders, having multiple export formats in a single tool removes a common bottleneck.
Cedreo supports multi-level projects including basements, main floors, upper floors, and garages, each drawn and managed as a separate level within the same project file. Wall placement, openings, and area calculations update independently per floor, and the 3D view renders all levels together so spatial relationships between stories are visible during the design process. Staircase placement and floor voids are handled within the same interface. For builders and contractors working on two-story custom builds or homes with finished basements, this means the entire structure can be designed, visualized, and presented from one file.
Cedreo is designed so that construction professionals can draw a complete floor plan on their first session, without prior training. The interface uses click-and-drag wall drawing, a structured library for doors, windows, and furniture each with their 2D symbol, and automatic area calculations. On-demand support and a help center are available to keep you moving. Most users working on residential projects report feeling comfortable using the software within just a few hours of use. Tools built for architects or engineers, such as AutoCAD, Chief Architect or Revit, typically require weeks or months of dedicated learning before producing usable outputs.
Cedreo was built specifically for contractors, builders, and remodelers, not architects or CAD professionals. You don’t need any prior design software experience to produce a complete set of house plans. The workflow follows the logic of a construction project: draw exterior and interior walls to create rooms, place openings, furnish, and generate visuals. Automatic roof detection, real-time area calculations, and a library of 7,000+ furniture items are there to reduce the drafting time as well as the time-to-presentation. Contractors use the platform to create client-facing designs and preliminary project documents without involving a separate designer or draftsman.
Cedreo produces cross-sections and elevation views alongside 2D and 3D floor plans within the same project. Once you draw the plan, elevation and cross-section views are generated from this drawing. There is no need to redraw anything or switch tools. Exterior elevations show rooflines, facade materials, window and door placements. Cross-sections cut through the structure to show interior heights, levels, and spatial relationships between rooms.
Cedreo includes a presentation document feature that lets contractors and custom home builders compile plans, 3D renderings, and project details into a branded document within the same platform. Users can import their company logo, add annotations, and apply custom colors. You can export floor plans as DXF or PDF files for sharing by email or on-screen during a client meeting. The 3D view renders in real time as you draw, so showing a client a visual at the end of a design session requires no additional steps or software. Construction professionals use this to present plan layout options, confirm design, and accelerate client sign-off.
Cedreo offers a free account without using a credit card, that lets contractors and builders explore the platform and start designing floor plans. Paid plans unlock the full feature set including 3D rendering, unlimited projects, and branded presentation documents. Pricing details are available on the Cedreo pricing page.
