By block size

House Plans by Block Width

Every listed plan, grouped by the narrowest lot it's listed for. Start with your block's frontage width and look at the plans in that range or narrower.

What a plan's minimum lot width means

It's the narrowest lot the plan is listed for. It's always wider than the house itself — the difference leaves room along the sides for setbacks and access. How much room is actually required depends on your council, the zone and any covenants on the land.

Using it for your block

Compare your block's width at the front (the frontage) with each plan's minimum. Corner blocks, irregular shapes and easements can change the usable width. See understanding block width and depth and narrow block house plans.

Know your block's size?

Check your address to see the parcel and its area, and approximate dimensions for roughly rectangular lots — then compare plans against your block's width and depth.

Minimum lot sizes are as listed for each plan. Whether a plan suits a particular lot also depends on setbacks, easements, covenants, slope and council planning controls — confirm with the builder and your council.
