How Dudils Reviews House Plans

Dudils is built around one practical question: will this plan put the main living areas toward the northern sun on a real Australian block? The answer is checked plan by plan, not guessed from a builder category.

What We Check

Each approved plan is reviewed for its footprint, bedroom and parking data, floor plan image quality, likely living-area orientation, recommended north direction, and driveway or garage side where that applies.

When a plan can become a better passive solar design with a simple change, Dudils marks the north-facing wall where extra living-area windows should be discussed with the builder, designer or architect.

Why Orientation Matters

In most of Australia, north-facing living areas collect low winter sun and can be shaded from high summer sun with ordinary eaves. That is the passive solar principle behind Dudils: better comfort before expensive mechanical systems.

Builder catalogues usually start with facade, style or price. Dudils starts with the block: width, depth, north direction, garage side and whether the living areas can face the sun.
