An alternative and simple method of construction of balanced array, orthogonal and proportional frequency main effect plans and asymmetrical non-orthogonal main effect plans using incidence matrix of symmetrical regular GD designs has been proposed. The above plans can be constructed by symmetrical regular GD designs only when p is a positive integer.
