Trusted Custom Home Builder in Southern Pines, NC
Riverstone Construction
Southern Pines Custom Homes From a Builder Who Makes the Drive
A custom home builder Southern Pines buyers hire has to understand Sandhills ground, Moore County permitting, and the kind of house people move here for. Riverstone Construction and Home Improvement Company has been building since 2006, out of a Fayetteville office less than an hour away. We handle custom new home construction from plans and permits through the final punch list.
If custom home builder near me keeps pulling up the same few names, add one more to the list. We answer or return every call within the hour, Monday through Friday.
Building on Deep Sandhills Sand in Southern Pines
Most lots around Southern Pines sit on deep, fast-draining sand. Great for a septic field. Less great for a gravel driveway after a summer downpour. Footings, grading and erosion control get planned for that soil, not copied from a plan drawn for Piedmont clay. Any custom home builder Southern Pines buyers talk to should bring this up first. Before you build on your lot, we walk it with you: slope, drainage, sun, and which trees are worth keeping.
If the lot will run on septic, Moore County Environmental Health does the soil evaluation. We get it scheduled early, so the house footprint works around the result instead of the other way around.

Longleaf Pines, Woodpeckers and Review Boards on Southern Pines Lots
Wooded lots near Weymouth Woods and out in the horse country north of town come with longleaf pines, and some come with red-cockaded woodpeckers. That federally protected bird nests in living pines, and a marked cavity tree on or near a parcel can limit where you clear. Find out before you close on the land, not after the plan is drawn.
Many Sandhills neighborhoods also have architectural review boards that sign off on elevations, rooflines and colors. We prepare drawings with that review in mind. A custom home builder Southern Pines review boards see often learns what gets approved the first time.
Southern Pines Floor Plans for Porches, Acreage and Long Weekends
People build here for a reason. Some want a deep front porch and a short walk to the shops on Broad Street, where the train still rolls through the middle of town. Some want a few acres near the horse farms. Some are officers retiring out of Fort Bragg who finally get to choose every room. Our in-house design starts with that reason.
We size the kitchen for hosting, lay out a primary bath you will enjoy every morning, and plan storage carefully in a region where most homes skip the basement. That is what custom home construction should mean: the house fits the life, not the other way around.

Permits and One Schedule for New Homes in Moore County
Riverstone is a licensed and insured general contractor. In Southern Pines that means we handle the town's review for lots inside the limits, Moore County permitting for lots outside them, and every inspection in between. Permits, materials, labor. Turn-key.
Our crews set the roof system on the same schedule as the framing, so the house is dried in before the next afternoon storm rolls across the Sandhills. As your home builder, we give you one point of contact for the whole build, and one company responsible for hitting the dates.
Why Southern Pines Clients Hire a Home Builder With Federal Project Experience
Moore County has no shortage of builders. What sets Riverstone apart is the record behind the house: projects at Fort Bragg through HITT Construction and DynCorp, work for the U.S. Army 3rd Group, and HUD-funded and multi-family housing. Those jobs run on specs and inspections. A custom home builder Southern Pines families trust with a six-figure build should be able to show that kind of history. We are a Native American, woman-owned small business, and we put our name on every home we build.
We stay useful after move-in, too. Storm damage gets handled by our insurance restoration crew, and if you are selling a house elsewhere to move here, our home renovation services can get it market-ready.

Southern Pines New Home Questions, Answered
How far is Southern Pines from your office?
Less than an hour from our Fayetteville office. Southern Pines and the rest of Moore County are part of our regular service area, not a special trip.
Can you build on a wooded lot in Southern Pines with longleaf pines?
Yes. We walk the lot before design so we can keep the trees worth keeping and flag anything, like a woodpecker cavity tree, that limits clearing.
Will you work with my neighborhood's architectural review board?
Yes. We prepare drawings for review and make the changes the board asks for before construction starts.
Do I need a soil evaluation before buying land in Moore County?
If the lot will use septic, yes. Get it done before closing so you know where the house and drain field can go.
What comes first, the land or the loan?
The loan. Securing financing pre-approval for a budget is the most important first step. Contact us for financing help!
Can you help me find a lot in Southern Pines?
Yes. We work with multiple resources to help secure your land, then design the house around it.
Can you design the house, or do I hire someone separately?
We design it. Floor plans and plan development are handled in-house. Contact us today for a consultation!
What does an estimate cost?
The initial estimate is complimentary. A full line-item scope of work is a paid proposal, credited back to your project if you build with us.
