Riverbend’s architectural design team has created a new 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 home plans eliminate the need for full custom design, and reduce extra steps which can delay the construction of your new home. Once you select the land you wish to build on, 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. You can learn more about the process by watching our PerfectFit™ Webinar as well.
