Your Fresno Custom Home Builder

Serving Clients in the San Joaquin Valley Since 2002

With its wide-open landscapes, growing suburbs, and easy access to national parks, Fresno is an ideal place to build a home that’s grounded in nature and built around your lifestyle. Whether you’re planning a modern farmhouse, a family home near town, or a vacation retreat on rural acreage, Fresno offers a wide range of possibilities for custom homebuilding. At DC Builders, we’ve been designing and constructing custom homes across California since 2002, with a focus on quality, customization, and seamless project delivery. From initial design to final walkthrough, we’re here to make the building experience smooth, personal, and rewarding.

What We Do

At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction that’s anything but one-size-fits-all. From the first sketch to the final walk-through, we handle every aspect of the building process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That means a smoother experience for you and a finished home that’s cohesive, intentional, and beautifully built.

We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we design is tailored to the client—whether that means a contemporary ranch, a Mediterranean-inspired estate, or something completely original. For clients interested in pre-engineered building kits, we also work closely with our sister company, DC Structures, to design and construct custom homes based on their signature line of prefab models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—Fresno offers a mix of affordability, space, and flexibility that’s hard to find elsewhere in California. Whether you’re looking to build close to town or out on acreage, it’s a great place to create a home with room to grow.

Absolutely. We regularly design homes for clients building on ranch land, farms, or open lots throughout the Central Valley. Our team will guide you through site evaluation, zoning considerations, and access planning to make sure your project starts on the right foot.

Most of our homes in the Fresno area take 12 to 18 months, depending on permitting and site complexity. We use a simplified build system with pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber to streamline the process. For example, a 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
