If they are being paid & will not provide you with the info you are paying for...fire them both now!! They will ultimately screw you over. I know they will come up with the argument that what they produce is their intellectual property & that they are only leasing the output to you..that is why they (most) will slap copyrights on every document they produce. However if you have designed the house or anything else for that matter in rough sketches, with elements labeled and all they are doing is converting those to engineering specs, then they are already taking advantage of you, because they "may" ultimately sell your ideas to someone else. If on the other hand you are just consulting them in an exploratory process they are well within their rights to not provide you with any reproducible info. Now as far as CAD for Linux there are a great number of offerings out there which all have numerous features and all see to be quite different in operation. A quick 'Google" will turn up the bulk of them. The top dog is Linux CAD which is a clean drop in replacement for AutoCAD. It is NOT free. It will do what you desire. If you are seeking the ultimate CAD for LInux that is free, I suggest BRL-CAD. The learning curve is VERY steep but it will do everything you ask and MUCH more. I reiterate it will take some time to learn how to use it.
