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 mountain lodge, a lakeside modern cabin, 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.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we know that building a custom home in a place like Redding isn’t just about the structure—it’s about the setting, the lifestyle, and the legacy you’re creating. That’s why we take a hands-on, personalized approach to every build, offering expert guidance and transparent communication from start to finish. With over 20 years of experience building homes in remote and rural parts of California, we understand the terrain, zoning, and timelines that shape a successful project in the North State. We’re here to help you build a home that’s as strong and enduring as the landscape around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. With its mountain views, recreational access, and spacious properties, Redding is ideal for building a custom home that prioritizes privacy, nature, and long-term value. It’s a favorite among those seeking a quieter pace of life with plenty of outdoor inspiration.
Yes—we frequently design and build homes on large parcels, wooded lots, and remote sites. Our team will help you evaluate utilities, site access, and any zoning requirements to make sure your project is viable from the start.
Most homes in the Redding area take 12 to 18 months to complete, depending on permitting and property logistics. We streamline the process using a simplified build system that includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber. A 3,000 sq. ft. custom home typically takes 9–12 months to finish, including 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
