I have bought a new house. It is in bad condition and I am rebuilding
a lot of it. I need to put in all the electricity and plumbing.

What I am looking for is software that will facilitate this - planning
where all the cables should go inside the walls, where I should lay
the pipes etc. (a little like a CAD package).

If it makes a difference, the house is in Malta (but I dont think it
makes a difference). I have Windows XP and am an experienced user.

I have seen good reports of IMSI Floorplan 3D design suite. It's a 3-D
home design package rather than a traditional CAD package. HOwever,
IMSI also do a fairly serious CAD package too, called Turbocad.
Floorplan 3D is about GPB50 and a Lite version of Turbocad is a free
download.
IMSI are at: http://www.imsisoft.com/
and the floorplan website is at
http://www.floorplan.tv/floorplan/index.html
The BuyNow link on that page links to Mediagold for European sales.
