Rivo is a DIY platform that walks homeowners through a project end to end — Plan, Prepare, Build, and Verify. You get plans, material lists, cost estimates, permit guidance, and step-by-step build instructions in one place.

Rivo supports common home projects across outdoor, interior, structural, systems, and finish work — from pergolas and decks to bathrooms, flooring, and fencing. If your project type isn't live yet, joining early access helps us prioritize it.

No. Every step is written for first-time builders, with what to buy, what tools you need, and what 'done right' looks like before you move on.

Rivo is free to start with project planning and basic checklists. Rivo+ is $12/month for unlimited projects, permit guidance, material planning, and Check Your Work. Pro is $39/month for teams and client work.

Yes. Rivo tells you when a permit is likely required and helps you assemble permit-ready documentation for your local building department.

Snap a photo at any step and Rivo reviews the work against the plan, flagging anything that looks off before it gets covered up or inspected.

If you run into something outside your comfort zone, Ask an Expert is always available inside the app — a second opinion when you choose to use it, never a requirement.
