Riverbend’s architectural team has created a new series of plans designed as Ready-to-Build. This is our PerfectFit™ series. These plans feature distinctive designs with signature timber framing and creative layouts that make the most out of smaller spaces. By selecting a PerfectFit™ floor plan, you move directly into the Preconstruction phase which speeds your overall project timeline and enables you to start building your home more quickly.
