Chief Architect Premier is professional design software for residential and light commercial work. You draw a floor plan and the program builds walls, roofs and framing with smart tools that understand how a house goes together. The same plan drives elevations, sections and construction documents, so a change in one view flows through the rest. Designers also get a large library of cabinets, fixtures and materials, plus rendering tools for showing ideas to clients in three dimensions. Updated Aug 18, 2026.
