Detailed Review
Cedreo bundles home drawing and visualisation: terrain modelling, site plan, floor plan, cross-section, elevation and roof plans, a table of surface areas, and interior and exterior 3D renderings. The company positions it as a SaaS for housing professionals, not as a general-purpose modeller.
The General Terms of Sale and Use name CEDREO SAS, share capital 227,170 euro, registered with the Nantes Commercial and Companies Register under 824 623 409, at 16 boulevard Charles de Gaulle, 44800 Saint-Herblain. The French company register lists SOFTNEXT, a Paris-based SAS, as president.
Plans and projects
The free plan allows one project with basic drawing tools and needs no credit card. Personal plans are bought per project, and each project comes with 20 rendering credits. Pro and Enterprise plans are subscriptions billed monthly or annually.
Once on a paid plan you cannot downgrade to a lower tier, so check the plan before upgrading. Payment is by credit card or PayPal.
Drawing outputs
Cedreo produces the document set a builder shows a prospect: floor plans, elevations, roof plans and glass-surface tables, plus renderings with automatic camera angles and sunlight settings.
That is closer to pre-sales material than to full construction drawings, which sit in BIM tools such as Archicad or Allplan.
Company
Cedreo says it is B Corp certified and became a mission-driven company in 2022. Its team is based in Atlanta, Nantes and Munich, so a United States office exists alongside the French contracting entity.
Limitations to Consider
Prices were not readable without scripts. Plans cannot be downgraded. The free plan is limited to one project. The team has an Atlanta office, and the pages checked do not state where data is hosted.
Who Should Use Cedreo
Builders and remodelers who need to turn a customer brief into plans and renderings quickly during sales.
