Well, here we use CAD, still basically pencils but not quite scaled drawings. The proper name is Childlike Apportioned Details.

Looks a bit like the house you built.

 

Not helping the OP much.

Try SketchUp.

👍 planners were not impressed tho. 
 

sorry back on thread…..

For rough designing to allow you to play around with design options Sweethome 3d is free and easy to use. It's no use for elevations or anything detailed to build from.

 

Otherwise, SketchUp, but you'll need to spend a bit of time learning basic CAD skills.

 

But sounds like you are possibly looking for a designer?

Don't bother with the triangular ones. Too awkward to use. 

 

Oh, and think in millimeters drom the get go. It'll pay dividends later.

Is that the special ruler than stops things fitting together.

What Architects should be forced to use is this.
