What kitchen planning/design software? Is there an app?
Comments (1)My suggestions as a tech guy & TKO type: Better Homes & Gardens Home Designer for designing spaces. It has a small learning curve and costs money, but it's flexible enough and more user friendly than other options. Pinterest.com to manage ideas / inspirations / products. Addicting. Simple. Genius. Excel Spreadsheets can not be beat for managing other information. A tab for vendor contacts and notes, a tab for budget, a tab for appliance comparison shopping, etc....See MoreNeed help on software/app advice
Comments (3)I've used Live Interior 3D Pro for a few projects now -- moving furniture around a room virtually and getting a feel for what a kitchen remodel would look like. I have been quite happy with the product. It's fairly quick, stable, the developers are still at least somewhat interested in the product, and objects (furniture, fixtures, etc.) which they don't provide can be downloaded as Sketchup objects. There is a less-expensive "non-Pro" version, too, which should cover 80% of the ground the Pro version does. http://www.belightsoft.com/products/liveinterior/ No affiliation; just a happy customer....See MoreBest project management app or software?
Comments (18)Example: I get a call that the backsplash guy has an unexpected opening and can get in earlier than I thought. That's great because we're ahead of schedule and ready for him. Did the customer want 1/2 bond or 1/3 bond on the tile layout???? I can't remember for sure and my 3x5's are back at the office. Looks like I'm dropping what I'm doing to go for a drive so I can get the correct answer and take advantage of this situation. Or I can just look on my phone.... I admit it can be tasking to have to input into the app at times, but I've found once I got used to it things got quicker. Being able to quickly search for the answers I'm looking for is SO helpful. Much faster than even looking up old emails. Full disclosure, crusty old tradespersons are the absolute best people to hire in most situations. Best of luck....See Morebest CAD/home design app/software?
