Thanks for all the responses so quickly. The site plans have not yet been created, and the project is hardly a more than a project name, so my question was meant to be very general. I am expecting the "model" will be more of a few generally sized blocks with various arrangements. <br>
My personal experience is in mostly eQuest, but also Trane Trace and very little time spent in GBS.<br><br>It seems like the google sketch up is worth some research as a potential program. <br><br>thanks again for all the help,<br>

<div></div>I am going to be given a task in the near future to help influence a
site plan over another site plan. Before i start this endeavor, i would
like the community's opinion on the best approach to do this, be it eQuest or
Green Building Suite or some other program. <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Rob
