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, north direction where applicable, and driveway or garage side.

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.
