Welcome

Welcome to our Chief Architect Course

Your online classroom for mastering Chief Architect software. Whether you’re new to design software or an experienced designer looking to level up your skills, you’ve found the right place. By completing this course, you’ll gain the expertise to design professional-quality floor plans, 3D models, elevations, and renderings, all using Chief Architect.

This course includes foundational lessons on Residential Design and the next level, Advanced Chief Architect Techniques, which introduces more complex design tools, custom elements, and real-world application techniques. Together, these two sections form the core of what you’ll need to know to create high-quality, submission-ready designs using Chief Architect software.

My name is Tim Davis, and I’ve been working with Chief Architect professionally for years. I’ve built this course to guide you through every aspect of the software in a structured, easy-to-understand manner. This is NOT a simple tutorial or mini-course. It’s a comprehensive, full-scale program designed to teach you everything you need to know to create professional, usable designs that are ready for submission.

We’ll be using the Internet as our classroom and textbook. Each lesson will be accessible through the protected sections of this site, and you can work at your own pace. You have an entire year to complete the course, and if you need more time, just let me know. There’s absolutely no rush!

In addition to the core lessons, you’ll also have access to bonus materials, including custom templates, design tips, and exclusive resources to help you succeed.
