Chief Architect Premier is a 3D architectural home design software designed specifically for the residential housing market. Unlike generic CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, which often requires manual line-by-line drawing, Chief Architect is built on a BIM-like (Building Information Modeling) framework. When you draw a wall, place a window, or generate a roof, the software automatically understands the construction logic behind those elements.
As of mid-2025, Chief Architect has not yet released X16. This makes the current "end-of-life" build for the X15 cycle. That is excellent news for users because it means no more major feature changes—only stability. For businesses, this is the ideal time to roll out the software across an office network. You are guaranteed that files created today in 25.3.0.77 will open identically one year from now.
