drawing

Hello

It's a software-related question but not development-related :-/

A friend of mine is looking for an equivalent on Macintosh to Visio or SmarDraw to draw plans for home improvements. I don't know anything about Macintosh, so would appreciate any feedback on good softwares for this type of applications.

Thank you.
