Custom Floor Plan Design
If you can dream it, we can build it.
We're more than a builder — we're a full design-and-build partner. Bring a Pinterest board, a napkin sketch, or a lot you fell in love with. Our in-house design team and architect partnerships translate it into permit-ready plans that build clean. Pricing is scope-driven — number of iterations, lot constraints, and outside-architect coordination all move the cost.

Why custom floor plan design works the way it does in Asheville
About Asheville, NC. Asheville is the cultural and economic anchor of Western North Carolina, sitting at roughly 2,100 feet of elevation in a basin where the French Broad and Swannanoa rivers converge. The market combines a downtown rich with early-1900s architecture, the Biltmore-anchored south side, and a wide ring of mountain neighborhoods running from Beaverdam Valley up toward Town Mountain and Reynolds Mountain. Buyers skew toward relocating professionals, second-home owners from Florida and the Northeast, and an older retiree cohort drawn to the climate and arts economy.
What it means for custom floor plan design. Asheville builds split sharply between flat infill in the river-arts and West Asheville districts and steep hillside lots above the city, where retaining systems, deep pier foundations, and access drives can outweigh the cost of the visible structure. The City of Asheville's steep-slope and hillside development standards apply on parcels with significant grade, and Buncombe County rules govern outside city limits — both are taken seriously. Common project types include custom mountain homes engineered for view orientation, post-Helene flood-corridor rebuilds along the French Broad, downtown adaptive reuse, and hospitality work tied to the year-round tourism economy.

Our Process
How We Approach
Custom Floor Plan Design
Design Consultation & Lifestyle Brief
How do you actually live? Where does the morning sun need to land? Who hosts Thanksgiving? We start with how the home will function — not square footage. Architects and designers we've collaborated with for years are pulled in based on style fit.
Custom Or Pre-Made — Whichever Fits
Fully custom from a clean sheet, or semi-custom from our partnership with America's Best House Plans (huge selection of luxury pre-made plans at reduced prices). We help you decide based on lot, timeline, and how unique the constraints are.
Permit-Ready Drawings & Build Hand-Off
Plans, sections, elevations, structural review, MEP coordination — all delivered as a permit-ready package. Because BHR is also building it, the plans get drawn for build-ability — not just print-ability. No surprises in the field.
