Plan Accuracy & What’s Included
Code foundation
All DAL Plans are developed using the International Residential Code (IRC) as the primary design baseline. The IRC forms the foundation of residential building codes across the United States, providing a consistent starting point for layout, dimensions, and construction intent.
Designed for jurisdictional adaptability
Because building requirements vary by location, local amendments, energy codes, climate conditions, and site characteristics may require adjustments. DAL Plans are intentionally designed to accommodate these jurisdiction-specific requirements efficiently, without altering the core design or starting over.
Builder-created, not conceptual
DAL Plans are created by a professional home builder with hands-on experience constructing hundreds of homes. These designs reflect real-world construction practices, practical framing methods, and the realities of pricing, permitting, and building — not presentation-only drawings.
Complete working drawings
Each DAL Plan is delivered as a complete set of residential working drawings intended for construction. Plan sets include fully dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations, a roof plan, and a foundation plan based on the selected foundation type.
Details builders expect
Floor plans show wall layouts, room dimensions, doors, windows, stairways, ceiling heights, and key section references. Schematic electrical plans are included, indicating general locations of switches, outlets, and fixtures to support accurate pricing and coordination.
Local items handled where they belong
Some jurisdictions require additional documentation such as structural engineering, energy compliance reports, truss design, or soil-related review. These items are typically completed by local professionals to address regional conditions and support permit approval. DAL Plans provide the builder-ready foundation for this process.
Accountability without over-promising
DAL Plans stand behind the accuracy of the drawings provided. If a contractor or local building department identifies a verified technical drafting error, the necessary correction will be provided at no cost.
