How can you draw your own house plans?

Yes, you can if you’re willing to invest the time into learning the software. You have two approaches.

The first is to use free or inexpensive home design software that allows you to quickly put together some floor plan ideas that you can then hand off to a professional to draw up proper CAD designs.

The second option is to invest loads of time and money into top-notch CAD software and draw up a full suite of home blueprints yourself.
