Should I order home design software or have an architect draw my 3d plans?

Q. My wife and I are building a house this year. We've come up with a rough sketch of what we want. Our architect is going to turn our idea into plans for $3000. I want to see a 3d version of our design. He charges $1000 to add a 3d version of the plans via disc. I can buy the most elite home design software for less than $200 and sell it for almost as much when I'm done. Which should I do? The house we are building is a simple 2000 sq ft ranch with a finished basement.

A. no just order home designs only then it's cool

Does anyone know where I can find 3-D home design software?

what is a good home design software that is free?

Q. Something similar to the HGTV Home Design software would be great. I want to be able to design the floor plan and the architecture of the home.

A. Hi there! There are a lot of design software you can download online, but the only ones I know of are those from IKEA, Google (Sketchup), and Alljoinery Solutions. When it comes to kitchen floor plans, living room floor plans, and even home architecture design, these ones are the best, at least based on my own experience.
