What’s Included in a Plan Set

Every DAL Plans house plan is delivered as a complete set of working drawings designed to give your builder the information needed to price, permit, and construct your home efficiently. Depending on the specific plan, your set may include the following sheets and details.

Dimensioned Floor Plans

Shows the layout of each level of the home with wall locations, room dimensions, door and window sizes, and overall layout information used for estimating and construction.

Exterior Elevations

Illustrations of all sides of the home showing exterior materials, roof
pitches, window and door placement, and overall building proportions.

Electrical Plan

Shows suggested locations for lighting fixtures, switches, and outlets based on design intent. Final layouts may vary based on local code and builder
preferences.

Foundation Plan

Indicates the foundation type (slab, crawl space, or basement as applicable), footing layout, and key structural information required for construction.

Building Sections

Cross‑section views through the home showing floor‑to‑ceiling relationships, structural connections, and vertical dimensions.

Roof Plan

An overhead view of the roof layout identifying slopes, ridges, valleys, and overhangs to assist with framing and material planning.

Notes & Details

General construction notes and typical details that coordinate with the drawings to help clarify design intent and construction methods.

Optional Add-Ons

Depending on the plan, optional services may be available such as:
• Reversed plan sets
• Additional plan sets
• Material take‑offs
• Plan modifications or customizations

Building Code Compliance & Engineering Review

DAL Plans house plans are intended to serve as the starting point for permit and construction documents. Building codes and permitting requirements vary widely by state and local jurisdiction, and additional information may be required to obtain permits.

Depending on location and site conditions, local authorities may require items such as site plans, energy compliance documentation, or site-specific engineering. Engineering requirements may be influenced by local conditions including soil type, wind or seismic zones, snow loads, or other regional factors. When required, engineering is not included with the plans and must be completed locally.

If the home will be constructed using engineered components such as roof trusses, those systems are typically designed and supplied by the local manufacturer or contractor responsible for fabrication. The builder is responsible for coordinating any additional items required for permitting based on local requirements.
