Ever wondered what your house could look like with a new coat of paint, a swimming pool or a few extra rooms?
Phoenix Software is providing the opportunity to do just that with the announcement that it has concluded an exclusive deal with Incredible Connection to put the Complete Home Designer 5.0 Design & Renovation software package on the shelves of the country`s leading computer retailer.
From software developer Data Becker, Complete Home Designer 5.0 Design & Renovation allows users to see their ideas for their house come to life, from plan drawings to fully rendered 3D perspectives, says Simon Campbell-Young, CEO of Phoenix Software.
"The package is a complete project manager in one program. It includes 12 fully-integrated tools including constructing, renovating, redecorating, expanding and landscaping," says Campbell-Young.
Using the program, basic layouts can be rapidly created, or existing floor plans can be scanned for manipulation - rooms can be added and removed with a click of the mouse.
"Because Home Designer works with your existing building plans, these can be refined and experimented with to deliver results that should add up to your dream home. It has a drag-and-drop interface to add doors, windows, roofs, furniture and more, in a variety of styles," he adds.
With a Project Wizard, using Home Designer is an easy six-step building process for small or large home projects. From exterior design which covers windows, skylights, doors, gardens and the colour of your home, to interior design, Home Designer assists with the creation of the perfect living space. It also generates measurements for accurate dimensions of frames, floors and walls, and provides a list of materials and estimates of building costs.
Once designed, it offers a real-time walkthrough 3D tour of the new home - complete with lighting and shadowing.
Floor Plan Pro: Choose a pre-defined floor plan or scan and import a custom design.
Available exclusively from Incredible Connection, Home Designer 5.0 Design & Renovation retails for R499 and is ideal for any homeowner including sectional title and apartment owners.
