Chief Architect or Home Designer Pro?

[lbuttery]

PRO could be a way to get started and the upgrade path is an easy one

fully compatible with Chief Premier

use PRO till you run into its limits and then upgrade

look at the comparison chart on the HD website and then the comparison chart on the Chief website

you will have to manually compare PRO versus Chief

then contact CA's customer service and discuss your needs

PRO does have manual roof tools and manual cabinet tools
may be some limitations over chief

PRO is limited to a 1 page layout
you can create many individual pages then use a PDF utility to save as PDF's and then combine as one PDF

essentially PRO has 25% of Chief's features for 25% of the cost

if it was my business I would buy chief....

but PRO makes a good starting place

I think PRO is mis-named it should be called HD Master or HD Deluxe

calling it PRO is probably costing CA sales on Chief Premier
