I need to make a floorplan for an engineer to work off of so he can work
up a foundation rebuild. It's a 2 story 1925 square foot 95 year old
house. I started trying to do it on graph paper, but I figure I'm just
making things tough on myself doing it that way.

This floor plan will probably come in handy for some alterations I'm
contemplating - tearing out a wall or two, putting in a door or two,
etc.

What's a reasonably cost effective software for what I want to do?


I have never found one that I personally like, but there are a number of
products available if you want to check some out:

FloorPlan 3D Design Suite 10 http://www.imsisoft.com/all_products.asp
HomePlan Pro http://www.homeplanpro.com
3D Home Architect Home Design Deluxe http://www.broderbund.com/

You can also use Visio for this sort of thing, which can do scaled drawings and
comes with a number of object palettes for floorplans.
Hope this helps.
