What software to purchase

[BB boy]

Thanks for helping Blue. I lost track of the thread. A sample of a layout page see thumbnail. Son / his wife kitchen, part of a whole house remodel I did. I made layout template saved them, then open and use as needed, always saving the master for re-use. Plan set as blue stated, is the set you generally permit / bid / build by. Some jurisdictions just want a plan (architectural) electrical, plumbing and HVAC with a couple of elevations, some want the works and others have detailed spec's as to what they will accept, but the set is what ever it takes to get it permitted, priced, and built. Nice thing about pro-or Chief X11 you can take the lap top out to the job and pull up or even make details for the builder team to help them understand what you want. Of course, you can do that with all the CA programs, but you're limited to what you can do from a plan set / layout option. (My opinion)
