The Essentials

What you need to know
about our plans.

Dwelcore plan packages go beyond floor plan images. They bring together the detailed drawings and documents that help turn an idea of home into something your builder can begin planning from.

Where stated, plans are developed with reference to the 2021 International Residential Code and reviewed before publication for clarity, detail and usability. If your building authority identifies location-specific requirements, support is available to help you understand the next step.

What Plans Include

Plan packages may include floor plans, foundation plans, roof plans, 4 exterior elevations, 2 building sections, framing plans, interior elevations, window and door schedules, electrical plans, and structural notes and details. Review the selected package for its included file formats.

Plan Options

Foundation conversions, reversed plans, style variants, and full structural modifications available.

Estimating Costs

Build cost varies by region and finish level. Our cost guide helps you budget before you buy.

Local Building Codes

Plans are developed with reference to the 2021 IRC. Local amendments handled through our modification consultation before permit submission.

Testimonials

From our clients

“We broke ground on our Riverside Craftsman eleven months ago. The building department approved our permit on the first submission, no revisions, no delays. Dwelcore's plan gave us a strong foundation for local review.”

Patricia Langford

Austin, TX

“The AI search helped me narrow the catalogue down to three real contenders in under five minutes. I went with the Harlow Farmhouse. The package was thorough and my contractor said it was the cleanest set of drawings he'd ever worked from.”

Marcus Delray

Scottsdale, AZ

“Every other company wanted to charge us for major modifications just to fit our lot. Dwelcore's Oakwood Classic needed only minor tweaks, and our final build cost came in $18,000 under estimate.”

About Dwelcore

Finding a house plan should not leave you with more questions than answers.

Dwelcore began with a simple question: how could more people find a thoughtfully developed home plan without starting a fully custom design from a blank page? The idea grew out of residential design experience through Johnolans Designs LLC, and became a marketplace built to make that first step clearer.

Today, Dwelcore brings together carefully presented house plans, clear package information and available modification options — giving homeowners and building professionals a stronger place to begin.
