Hi Rich,

Have a look at Room Arranger. Possibly not quite right either, but there 
are libraries of items to place and configure for dimensions so they 
fit, skin them so they look right, and IIRC you can add custom items 
(e.g. one plank or a panel of them) and place them precisely. The output 
can be a 3D walkround or a floor plan. Projects can be multiroom and the 
website splash screen says apartments, houses etc so it claims you can 
design houses.

Kind regards,

Julian
