About Us
Builder-designed home plans—crafted for real-world construction across the USA.
DAL Plans & Home Designs was founded with a simple goal: to make professionally designed, builder-tested home plans available nationwide. Every plan we create is informed by decades of real construction experience, ensuring that each design is both beautiful and practical to build.
Our team consists of professional home builders and CAD designers who have collectively built hundreds of homes. We understand how design decisions impact construction costs, materials, and schedules—and we draw our plans with that experience in mind. Where some plans focus only on aesthetics, ours balance appearance, functionality, and structural efficiency.
