Company Overview
Software Republic LLP is a Texas-based CAD software developer for irrigation, landscape, lighting, and drainage design, headquartered in Magnolia, TX and serving the green industry since 1989. The company runs two parallel portals — www.raincad.com and www.softwarerepublic.com — with customer and subscription contact managed through the official contact page. Its flagship product, Pro Contractor Studio, is a stand-alone CAD application that runs without AutoCAD or any other host CAD, and integrates equipment databases from Hunter, K-Rain, Moasure, and other major brands.
Pro Contractor Studio Product Suite
Pro Contractor Studio (PCS) organizes the design workflow into four integrated modules: irrigation (zone layout, hydraulic calculations, automatic mainline and lateral pipe sizing, residential and commercial coverage); landscape (plant symbols, bed and edging layouts, area and volume takeoffs, plant care notes); lighting (fixture placement, wiring layouts, lighting calculations and clean lighting plans); and drainage (drainage runs, inlets, runoff calcs). All modules share the same stand-alone CAD engine, import DWG/DXF/PDF plot plans, and produce client-ready PDFs without any AutoCAD dependency.
Data Support and Partner Ecosystem
On the data and partner ecosystem side, PCS ships with extensive manufacturer libraries — Hunter Preferred, K-Rain Premier Contractor, and Moasure integration for motion-based measurements — so contractors can pick real equipment models and import surveyed DWG/DXF files directly. The free Knowledge Base indexes 200+ commands (Hydraulic Calculations, Pipe Sizing, Equipment Costs, etc.), and the Tutorial Videos library plus a 90-minute live starter class (every other Tuesday at 10 AM Central) cover the full job: importing plans, placing heads and valves, automatic pipe sizing, hydraulic checks, and creating install-ready reports.
Subscription Licensing and Training
Software Republic sells PCS on a no-contract, no-auto-renewal subscription basis. Explore Mode is free forever with all tools unlocked but save and print disabled. Project Mode (30 days, $40) fits short-term trials; Professional Access ($400/year, save $80 vs monthly) targets season-long design work. A 50% multi-license discount is automatically applied to the same account’s second and subsequent seats. Refunds are reviewed case-by-case because digital access is granted immediately on serial number or subscription key creation; the Privacy Policy covers account data, cookies, and third-party processors.
Contact and Company History
Software Republic publishes a Texas support line and customer email on its official contact page (www.softwarerepublic.com). The company maintains Facebook (SoftwareRepublicLLP) and LinkedIn (software-republic-llp) channels and promises an 8-hour response window on helpdesk tickets, including remote support. To date, PCS has been adopted by over 10,000 contractors and has produced 250,000+ plans, with 50,000+ total downloads; the latest Windows installer (110 MB, Windows 10/11) is distributed directly via the official Download page.
