NEW YORK, New York - GiveMePower Corporation (OTCBB:GMPW), a rapidly emerging provider of desktop, mobile and wireless software solutions for the design/build industry, today announced the acquisition and official public beta launch of PowerCAD Architect(TM), a user-friendly software system that automates 2 and 3-dimensional design for small, medium and large-scale enterprises involved in residential building design and light commercial construction.
Targeting architects, drafters, developers, design consultants, builders, builder supply houses, renovation companies, professional hobbyists and educators seeking a cost-effective, AutoCAD-compatible design system, PowerCAD Architect retails for $995, less than 25% of its closest rivals in terms of power according to the Company. Scheduled for commercial release in Q4, 2002, GiveMePower is offering a $500 discount to qualified beta testers who can now register at www.givemepower.com to assist in the final stages of product testing.
"PowerCAD Architect delivers 2 and 3D building design automation normally found only in systems costing thousands of dollars more per license," said Bill Walton, President and CEO of GiveMePower.

Walton continued, "PowerCAD Architect represents a significant intellectual property acquisition for GiveMePower shareholders and allows us to securely expand into high-growth vertical markets with an expanded product line targeting a broader range of customers seeking the exceptional value, industry compatibility and ease of use that all our products deliver."
