Just so others know, because I messaged you, I'm not trying to be cheap. When I first went down to the city to get prepared on what would be required they said, "OH you don't have to do a lot, you can even just write/draw it out by hand and turn it in for what you are doing. So instead of drawing it by hand I figured I would get Home Design and make it look better. Took in my plans, multiple pages like some have suggest so it's not like my print screen, and they started talking about adding notes and graphs like Drawzilla stated above. That's when I figured I would come on here and look for someone to help me. Like I said, I'm not cheap but I do have a budget for my project, like most projects do, that I need to stay within. I expect to pay a reasonable rate for the help I'm asking for and if that requires someone starting from scratch and just using mine as a guide well that might be the best way to go but who knows at this point until I get a few offers. Thank you for all your time and input.

Yes it is an existing house and I'm not looking for a complete redesign because I'm ok with the floor plan. Bath 2 is original and can't be changed unless a lot of walls are moved so I'm not looking to do that. Thanks for the input, and feel free to contact me if you would like to help.

Thanks for the input, hopefully a few competent users will contact me.

Exactly, you nailed why I am here helping look for someone that could help me finish up. The city started talking about all the notes and I knew I was in trouble. LOL

Understood, I didn't play with the layering and just wanted to give an idea of what I've done in a print screen. I'm sure if I had just showed the walls someone would have said I needed to complete the electrical etc., etc. Thanks for the input

Hi, I bought a copy of Home Designer Pro 2016 and can provide a file for a price quote and to modify if we choose to work with each other, I've think I'm about 99% complete based on my conversations with the City of Tustin's Building Department in California. I need help filling in the things I can't figure out how to do in the software and what the building department will require for my remodel and then provide a file that I can get printed if you are not local. it would also be nice for a little input if you feel I've missed something too because I'm sure I have not being a professional and this being my first attempt with the software. Please be proficient with complete plans for approval within the State of California and better yet the City of Tustin so we don't have issues with the building department.
