What We Do
At DC Builders, we provide a fully integrated custom homebuilding experience—all under one roof. From architectural design and structural engineering to framing, interior design, and general contracting, our in-house team ensures a seamless process from concept to completion.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, which are especially well-suited to Minden’s high-desert landscape and rural property types. But every home we build is uniquely crafted to fit the land, the client, and the vision. Whether your style is traditional, contemporary, or something entirely your own, we’ll help you design and build a home that fits your goals. For clients looking to simplify the construction process, we also offer customizable pre-engineered building kits through our sister company, DC Structures.
