Riverbend’s architectural design team has created a series of ready-to-build plans which is our PerfectFit® series. These plans feature distinctive designs with signature timber framing and creative layouts that make the most out of smaller spaces.
Our ready-to-build timber frame homes eliminate the need for fully custom designs and reduce extra steps which can delay the construction of your new home. Once you select your build site, our architectural design team will work with you to ensure your home fits perfectly on your property.
By selecting a PerfectFit® floor plan, you move directly into the construction drawing phase which speeds up your overall project timeline and enables you to start building your home more quickly.

Before you are ready to start the process of choosing your PerfectFit® timber frame home, there are some important factors for you to consider such as finding that perfect piece of land and determining when you want to build your dream home and, of course, how you intend to finance it. Here are some things to consider as you begin your custom home journey:
It’s important to know how much you’re willing to spend when moving forward with your PerfectFit® timber frame home. Like any custom building project, the overall costs can vary depending on the location, size, design complexity, and other factors. You’ll also need to consider other expenses such as interior furnishings when preparing your home building budget. Our sales team will walk you through approximate costs to build in your local area.
Building a custom home starts with acquiring a special piece of land to build on. Whether it’s on a lake, in the mountains, or in the prairies, our design team will ensure your home is a special place for your family to enjoy.
When searching for land, here are some factors that you may want to consider.
Once you’ve created a budget and found the perfect piece of land, you’re ready to choose the ideal floor plan. Many of our clients find this process to be the most enjoyable project step. With many PerfectFit® plans to choose from, it’s easy to find one that fits your lifestyle needs.
Contact your Client Representative to discuss your project goals and get an estimate for your chosen plan. We will also discuss your overall building budget and which of our construction services is the best fit for your needs.
Once you have chosen a plan and construction solution, you will sign your PerfectFit® Contract and move into the preconstruction phase, which includes design refinement and then the creation of your engineered construction drawings that you can use to get bids from potential builders.
The preconstruction process involves creating the engineered construction drawings for your home, acquiring the materials, and cutting your timbers and your pre-fabricated structural insulated panels (SIPs).
The Riverbend design team will create the construction drawings for your home. Our manufacturing team will use these drawings to fabricate the timbers and SIPs. Then, your builder will use them during the construction of your home.
During this phase, the following steps also occur:
Manufacturing starts with Riverbend’s fabrication of your timber frame and structural insulated panels (SIPs) on our proprietary CNC machinery. The CNC creates precise cuts that ensures builders a quick and easy installation when the material arrives.
During the manufacturing phase:
Meanwhile, at your build site, you and your general contractor will:
Your builder is now ready to begin the construction of your timber frame home. We’ll supply all the construction drawings and the materials to the builder, and provide technical assistance for the timber and SIPs.
