What is BenCAD?

CAD that fits in
your pocket.

BenCAD is a fast, lightweight floorplan and technical drawing tool built for the real world — not the office. No installation, no licence fees, no steep learning curve. Just open it and draw.

The Problem with Traditional CAD

Traditional CAD software like AutoCAD, Revit or SketchUp is extraordinarily powerful — but that power comes at a cost. Licences run into thousands of pounds per year. Training takes months. The interfaces are built for specialists sitting at a desk with a mouse, two monitors and a coffee.

For the vast majority of people who just need to sketch a room, communicate a layout or take a quick site measurement, that level of complexity is completely unnecessary. BenCAD exists to fill that gap.

What BenCAD Does

Lines & Rectangles
Draw walls, partitions and structural outlines with snapping and ortho lock.
Arcs & Circles
Curved walls, alcoves and circular features drawn with a simple three-point tap.
Trim & Extend
Clean up intersections exactly like professional CAD — drag to trim, tap to extend.
Area Calculation
Automatically detects enclosed rooms and calculates area in m².
Annotations
Dimension labels, angle measurements and room names keep drawings readable.
Scale Control
Set your real-world scale so every measurement reflects the actual space.

BenCAD is designed for anyone who needs to communicate space quickly and clearly — without needing a CAD qualification to do it.
