Plan Set & Permitting Information
Every DAL Plans & Home Designs house plan is delivered as a complete set of working drawings intended to provide your builder with the information needed to price, permit, and construct your home efficiently. Depending on the specific plan, your plan set may include a variety of drawings and details typically required for residential construction.
These house plans are provided as a starting point for permit submittal. Local jurisdictions may require additional documentation or information, such as site plans, soil or geotechnical reports, energy calculations, or other region-specific items.
Some locations require engineering due to local conditions and building codes, including but not limited to expansive soils, high-wind or hurricane zones, seismic design categories, snow loads, or similar factors. Engineering is not included with our stock plans and, when required, must be obtained locally.
Your builder or design professional should have local contacts to coordinate any additional items required for permitting. If the home is constructed using roof trusses, they must be designed and supplied by a local truss manufacturer in accordance with applicable codes and project requirements.
