Has anyone been asked to provide a "dollhouse floor plan" asbuilt to be used for home automation? If so, does any one know what programs are used to complete the home automation. For instance if a floor plan was produced in Chief, then the home owner wanted to use that floor plan to control his lights, hvac, or add attributes to a room what program would he use to do this. I know its kind of a weird question, however was asked the question by a client and I have no clue where to even start to help them out. Jason

Thanks for the insight Scott. I will add some more detail to the plan and attach it to this post later on in the week You are correct in regards to designing and Chief I am fairly green. I am the Chief Building Official for a City, so I spend my day reviewing plans, and making sure they are code compliant, the design of the building is not normally my top priority. I would be very intrigued to hear how the plan could be improved whenever you have some time. Jason

Hey Everyone, I have not been on the forum in a long time. I actually did not know that it had changed addresses. We have decided to put an addition on the side of our house its roughly going to be 15' x 40'. I have attached a picture of the front of our house and a .pdf of the possible layout of the addition. Just to give some clarification when looking at the house or the plan the addition will be off to the left hand sideand will incorporate the second garage, mudroom, and living space on the main floor and bedroom, bathroom, and were not sure what above on the second floor. My question is I would really like the addition to flow with the existing house although I would like some nice architectural design elements worked into the front and side facade. I'm open to all ideas, dormers, turrets, balconies...etc. When its your own house its hard to make a decision when you deal with someone elses its so much easier!.lol Anyways just looking for ideas? If you guys have anything cool please feel free to share!. Thanks Jason 9874 elizabeth addition - Mud Room new.pdf
