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?
Bricscad, or maybe Graebert Ares, or nanocad. No libre app can compete at all but these are solid. And much much cheaper. And some run on linux
Uuh this looks promising, thanks mate
I have used DesignSpark Mechanical for 3D printer design, but I am sure it could be easily used for 2D Blueprints.
I have been using their free version for years now. It does a pretty good job.

If your going to be doing any electrical diagrams or other charts. Draw.io is another good one. https://github.com/jgraph/drawio Although I do sometimes can be frustrating drawing lines to other objects. So I don’t know if it would give it a 5 star rating.
LibreCAD could be worth considering. I don’t think it’s possible to update dimensions in it though so I expect it would be tedious in a large project like a home remodel.
If you decide to stick with AutoCAD, the educational version is free. It just leaves a watermark on your project prints.
