DUILSNorth facing house plans that fit your block

Common questions about finding house plans

Where can I find house plans online in Australia?

Right here. Dudils brings together the plans of Australia's major home builders in one search. Tell us your block and we show the designs that fit it, with each floor plan turned so north points up. An architect has reviewed every plan for orientation, so you only see homes that can sit well on your land. Browse all house plans →

How do I find a floor plan that suits my block?

Start with the block, not the plan. Enter your width and depth, or a NSW address and we read the dimensions for you, then set which side your driveway is on. We match every plan against your buildable area and the sun, and rank the ones that fit best first. Check my block →

What is a passive solar house plan?

A passive solar home is designed so the main living areas face north, letting the low winter sun warm the house for free and keeping the high summer sun out. Done well, it means a home that stays comfortable most of the year with very little heating or cooling. See passive solar plans →

Which way should my house face?

In Australia you want your living areas facing north. North light is easy to let in during winter and easy to shade in summer, which no other direction offers. On Dudils north is always up, like a map, and we rotate each plan to sit the right way on your block so you can see at a glance which homes get it right. Search plans for your block →

Can I take a Dudils plan to my builder?

Yes. Dudils shows you which builder each plan comes from, so once you find a design that fits your block you can go straight to that builder to price and build it. Still deciding who to build with? Add your preferred builders to your search and compare what each one offers. Search by builder and block →

Do Dudils plans meet the building code and BASIX?

The plans are real designs from established Australian builders, who build to the National Construction Code. BASIX and the energy rating are settled during design and approval for your specific block and orientation, which is exactly why facing the living areas north matters so much. If you need help with BASIX or council approval, Good Architect can guide you through it. Talk to Good Architect →

What is the difference between a Dudils plan and a full set of plans?

A floor plan shows the layout: the rooms, their sizes and how you move through the home. A full set of working drawings adds everything a builder and council need, like elevations, sections, structural detail and the site plan for your block. Dudils helps you choose the right layout first. When you are ready to build, Good Architect can take it to a full documented set. See how Good Architect can help →

How much of my block can I build on?

Not all of it. Councils set boundaries called setbacks that keep the house a set distance from each edge, and the area left inside them is your buildable footprint. Our tool draws that footprint for a NSW address so you can see exactly how much room you have before you fall for a plan that will not fit. Check my block →

Are the plans free to browse?

Yes, searching and viewing plans on Dudils is free. Each plan links back to the builder who designs and prices it, so the cost of the home itself sits with them. We do not sell the drawings; we help you find the design that suits your block and your budget. Start browsing →

How do I pick the right plan for my block and budget?

Work in this order: your block first, then orientation, then the layout and the price you can afford. Filter by width, depth and driveway side so every plan you see actually fits, keep the living areas facing north, then narrow by bedrooms and budget. That way the shortlist is only homes that suit your land and your wallet. Search plans for your block →
