James, General Contractor at Wood Railing

Posted on May 16, 2023

It is specifically designed for home design professionals

We Wood Railing use Chief Architect. As a General Contractor in North Carolina since 2008, I used Chief Architect for many projects. It is specifically designed for home design professionals and while extremely complex is also very good at emulating the actual home building process. Since we no longer do any building or remodeling, and our entire focus is on Mountain Laurel Handrails, the software is still useful to me for helping customers to get a feel for how the railings would look in their homes.
