Billy Campbell was looking for a cabin in the Georgia Mountains in the United States, which would serve as a vacation\/retirement home for him and his dog Rosco. After some fruitless searching for an existing property, he decided to build his own cabin.<\/p>\n\n

\u2018I turned to the internet and found a number of home design software. I tried them all. I settled on the RoomSketcher App as it offered me all the features I needed and then some.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Billy found a builder they began looking at floor plans, \u2018We found a local builder, Devell Frady, who could build a cabin in our price range. He showed us a basic floor plan which I liked, so I manually recreated it with RoomSketcher.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with many building projects, things began to get delayed, so whilst he was waiting he began to tweak his plans in RoomSketcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018While waiting for the planning issues to be resolved I began designing and redesigning my new house in RoomSketcher. It is so easy to move the walls and get things just right in the plan before construction begins.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RoomSketcher then became an excellent tool for Billy to communicate the changes he wanted when working with the builder in their meetings. \u2018I went to discuss the project with my builder, I simply loaded up my laptop and took it out to the meeting. I connected to the internet and brought up my RoomSketcher floor plan. I showed him the adjustments I made, so he could see exactly what I envisioned and then go build it!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was very pleased with how well this worked. \u2018The task of explaining how you want something done is so much easier when you can show them a picture of it on a floor plan.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October this year, Billy Campbell\u2019s cabin was finally finished. When he began moving furniture into the cabin, his friends were impressed with how he already had a plan for his furniture layout. \u2018We took our dining room table up to the cabin and my friend Carol marveled at how I knew exactly where to put it and how well it worked with the floor plan.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we asked Billy about his experience with RoomSketcher he said, \u2018I very pleased with how RoomSketcher helped me build my house. The snapshot feature helped me visualize the layout and make the adjustments I wanted.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we asked him if he had any advice for others using RoomSketcher on a building project, he said, \u2018I personally should have upgraded to the paid versions for my project. I would\u2019ve been able to show my floor plan with the measurements alongside it, as well as being able to contact the RoomSketcher support staff when I got stuck. In my case, it would have certainly made my project easier.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
