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 fully tailored to the client—whether that means a contemporary cabin, a lakefront residence, or something entirely custom. For clients interested in pre-engineered building kits, we also work closely with our sister company, DC Structures, to design and construct homes based on their signature line of prefab models.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we believe the best homes are built with intention—from the materials we use to the way a home interacts with the land. In a place like Kalispell, where nature takes center stage, we design homes that complement the landscape and create a lasting connection between indoor and outdoor living. With more than two decades of experience building in remote and scenic locations across the West, our team knows how to navigate tough terrain, challenging weather, and complex design needs—without ever compromising on quality or experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. With its access to lakes, mountains, and national parks—not to mention a growing local economy—Kalispell is one of Montana’s most desirable places to live. It’s especially popular with second homeowners and retirees seeking peace, beauty, and room to build something lasting.
Yes—we specialize in homes built on waterfront, forested, and sloped properties, including those in remote or high-demand areas. We’ll help you evaluate your lot, ensure compliance with local regulations, and design a home that maximizes your land’s natural features.
Most custom homes in the Kalispell area take 12 to 18 months from design to completion. Our simplified build system—which includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—helps reduce on-site labor and keeps your project on track. 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.
