Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore the most used computer aided design software by architects, interior designers, and design-build (AIDB) companies in Jeddah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The findings would help local higher educational institutes in deciding on what computer aided design software to teach most often, so that graduates would have a smooth transition from school life to the real-world. The paper would also help new businesses and those who are in the process of starting new businesses to invest in the right computer aided design software. Face-to-face surveys were conducted with local AIDB companies to find out what software they are using the most and why they prefer to use it.
Key words: Computer aided design software, Saudi female, Jeddah, higher educational institutes, universities.
