I've used a program called Smartdraw for doing floor plans. It's not free - 
(US$197) but you do get a free trial period which will tell you if you like it 
enough to buy. Everything else I tried was way more expensive or really crap.

BTW smartdraw is a bit crap in some aspects but good in others. It enabled my to 
quite easily map a floor plan of our new house and plan alterations as layers.
