This discussion offers a good starting point for comparing Chief Architect with Cedreo. The comments by Alaskan_Son clearly point out Chief Architect's superiority in terms of offering comprehensive features for professional design and construction documentation.
While Cedreo might be suitable for basic visualizations, for users who need to create detailed construction drawings, accurate material lists, and adhere to building codes, Chief Architect seems to be the clear choice.
However, the discussion doesn't mention learning curves for each software. For someone completely new to 3D design software, is Chief Architect's powerful feature set too daunting to start with, or do they offer resources to help beginners get up to speed relatively quickly?
