    Mathew,

    Try this link "www.progesoft.com/".   ProgeCAD PRO sells for $399 and is a 2D/3D program.  Drawings are in DWG & DXF format and is compatible with AutoCAD.  It is available in a Windows or a MAC version.   Sketchup is also excellent for design and presentation and is reasonably priced for the PRO version and also has a realistic rendering plugin called PODIUM  which is also reasonably priced.  Included with Sketchup is a program called layout which I have used for presentations and which I understand has been used for contract documents on smaller projects.  The programs have trial versions which can be downloaded.
