What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction designed to reflect your lifestyle, location, and vision. Whether you’re building a modern retreat in Tetherow or a timber-framed getaway with views of the Cascades, our team handles every part of the process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. This all-in-one approach creates a more seamless, efficient experience from concept to completion.
Our homes are built for performance and longevity, with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship at the core of everything we do. We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but no two homes we build are ever the same. For clients interested in a more streamlined approach, we also offer pre-engineered building kits through our sister company, DC Structures—each fully customizable and built to the same high standards you expect from DC Builders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bend’s high-desert environment means hot summers, cold winters, and lots of sun exposure—so your home needs to be built with year-round performance in mind. We use moisture-resistant materials, high-efficiency insulation, and strategic design to help regulate temperature and reduce energy use in every season. Our homes are engineered to perform well in this unique climate while maximizing comfort and durability.
Absolutely. Whether you’re building near the Deschutes River or on a lot with Cascade views, we’ll design your home to make the most of your setting. From large picture windows and open-concept layouts to outdoor living spaces, we focus on connecting your home to the natural beauty that surrounds it.
Most custom home projects in Bend take 12 to 18 months, depending on your design, site conditions, and permitting timeline. We help streamline the process with a simplified build system that includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—saving time on site and reducing construction delays. For example, a 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes us 9–12 months to complete, with 2–3 months for dry-in, and another 8–9 weeks for interior finish.
