Im in the progress of planning a complete home improvement, where all the interiors is pulled down, floors torn up, and only the shell is intact, before rebuilding everything.

But in the designing process i miss the ease of a drawing tool as autocad that we used in school as an mason apprentice.

So home improvement people, what is a good alternative to autocad, for detailed blueprints and measurements?

Like maxmal said, FreeCAD has an Architecture (and BIM) workbench, which is heavily developed by one of the main FreeCAD Devs. Try it out and see if it works for you

Calling the architecture workbench a plugin is technically correct, but a bit misleading, as all core features are technically plugins(workbenches). The Architecture workbench is a built-in default feature
