It seems as though software available for music industry rather than construction / engineering sector seem to have better interfaces and produce audible results.
Using a 7 band equaliser in the sound recording programme ProTools and a low end reverb D-Verb plug in I can proximate the effects of materials but this does not give a comprehensive room model. Altiverb from Audio Ease appears to have the ability to record the acoustic of a room for post production in films etc. and many other useful facets that would suit modelling a room acoustic. It cost $1,200 for the most basic version, however, so I'm going to see if I can get an evaluation version.
Other less expensive plug ins include;
IK Multimedia ARC System Plug-In "Software based advanced room correction"
RealVerb may be a more cost effective alternative.
