What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction that prioritizes design integrity, premium materials, and seamless execution. From the first sketch to final walkthrough, we manage every aspect of your build in-house—including architectural design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That level of coordination allows for a more efficient, tailored, and highly communicative experience.
While we’re known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, we approach every Aspen home as a unique design challenge—whether that means a minimalist alpine home, a glass-and-steel showpiece, or a mountainside lodge with rich natural finishes. We also collaborate with our sister company, DC Structures, to develop high-end pre-engineered building kits that can be fully customized for the Aspen market.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we believe homes in places like Aspen should feel as extraordinary as the landscape they inhabit. That’s why we bring deep expertise, white-glove service, and a design-first mindset to every project we take on.

From energy efficiency to timeless aesthetics, we’re committed to creating homes that elevate every moment inside and out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Aspen is one of the most sought-after luxury home markets in the country, offering top-tier amenities, incredible views, and strong long-term investment potential. It’s ideal for high-end primary residences, vacation homes, or rental properties.
Absolutely. We have extensive experience building on slope, in remote locations, and under tight architectural review. Our team works closely with local planners and HOA requirements to ensure your home meets both design and compliance standards while taking full advantage of your site’s features.
Custom homes in Aspen typically take 12 to 18 months from groundbreaking to completion. With our streamlined build system—which includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—we help reduce construction delays without compromising detail or quality. A 3,000 sq. ft. home generally takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
