Use QuickHouse™ to get you started faster by picking from dozens of professional design floor plan types. Then, put in the dimensions you want and you are on your way. Tackle roofs faster than any handy man by choosing from our library and myHouse will automatically size the roof to fit your home. Multilevel and split level designs are a snap. Columns, half walls, garage door, skylights, you name it, it is there for you.

Also, myHouse makes dimensioning your floor plan easy. myHouse automatically calculates the length of walls or the distance between walls. Customize your printed plan by showing distances from walls to door or window edges. You can also instantly determine the square footage of a room or the whole house.

Once you're done with your design, myHouse can create a Bill of Materials spreadsheet of all the elements in your design. Keep track of how many of what kind of windows you've used, how many square feet of wall, how many chairs, and more. Insert additional comments and local pricing information to complete cost estimating of the project. Export the data to a spreadsheet, database, or text file so you can use the information elsewhere.
