Look for a program titled ''Floorplan Plus v.xx''. I used it years ago

material estimates but that was more than ten years ago. It is something  
of a ''do-it-yourselfer's'''or poormans CAD. Was only $13 retail when I  
bought it.  
..If you are in the construction business,.. ''AutoCAD LT'' might be a  
good solution for you. Retail price is in the $600 - $700 range so if  
you are just working on ur own home check Ebay auctions for a second hand  
version. I have seen software titles there (in exc. cond.) for 5% - 10% of  
retail price or less. AutoCAD is a very complex & in-depth application &  
you might need a college course  
to fully utilize it.  
 
Hope this was helpful :=)  
 
PS I just did a web search for FloorPlan Plus. It is still  
available  
''FloorPlan Plus 3D express version 8'' includes material estimator  
$17.97 retail  
I was thrilled to see it is still in stores because it is an excellent  
program!!! I literally earned about $12,000 in pay raises using it. Best  
thirteen bucks I will ever spend.
