Standard House Types for Feasibility
£19.99 + VAT
Our House Types for Feasibility pack provides a set of standardised two-storey house layouts designed to support early-stage site studies and concept design. Each house type is based on the Technical Housing Standards – nationally described space standards, making them a dependable starting point for residential projects across the UK.
The pack includes a range of unit sizes from 2b3p to 4b8p, with options for mid-terrace, end-terrace, and detached configurations. Each layout is provided as a dynamic AutoCAD block, allowing you to switch between orientations or house positions with simple drop-down controls. This makes it easy to test site arrangements, parking layouts, garden depths, and spacing between plots without redrawing plans from scratch.
Alongside the house types, you’ll find useful guidance on minimum distances between dwellings, cycle storage requirements, and key planning considerations. These resources help you check early compliance with common Local Authority design expectations, while still allowing enough flexibility to respond to site-specific constraints.
This is an AutoCad only resource in DWG and PDF format.
