    I need to put in a planning application for some work I want to do to my house. For this I need to submit some scale drawings of each elevation of the property.

    I'm so cack-handed, there's no way I could draw them manually, and I don't want to pay an architect £100 per hour to do it.

    Does anyone know of some, preferably free, but certainly cheap, software that could help with this?


    I want something with more sophistication than Paint. Something that can understand the scale and measurement requirements, and perhaps has in-built stock objects like windows and doors.


    And utilising a "skilled" and very expensive draftsman, I ended up with this:-

      You don't need an "architect", just someone who does technical plans with drawings.

          I think I asked about this a while ago here... I think there were some apps recommended too. I might search later or someone else can if they are that bored.

              Thank you for all the suggestions. I downloaded sketchup. Not sure I'll use it this time, but it's an extremely impressive piece of software.
