Meraki staffers frequently suggest using Ekahau. There are free versions and paid versions - what is not to like?

Ironic but I've used Aerohives wifi planner and I like how it works. I think it should still be free.

Theoretical values for WiFi signal permeability are not much use when the wallboard turns out to be foil backed. Personally, I find it preferable not to spend time pouring over plans and making assumptions that may or may not be reasonable. Better to wait until site access can be obtained, or 2nd/3rd fix is in progress and then spend time planning based on real world data. Likewise, empty buildings have quite different WiFi characteristics to those that will prevail once the building is fitted out, furnished and occupied.
