Your Chico Barndominium Builder

Serving Clients in the Northern Sacramento Valley Since 2002

Nestled between orchards, farmland, and foothills, Chico offers the space, lifestyle, and community ideal for barndominium living. Whether you’re building a home with attached shop space, a multi-purpose structure for rural living, or a modern farmhouse with custom features, a barndominium is a smart, flexible solution. At DC Builders, we help clients across Butte County design and build custom wood-framed barndominiums that reflect the way they live—crafted with durability, comfort, and Northern California character in mind.

What We Do

DC Builders specializes in high-performance, fully custom barndominiums that offer more beauty, strength, and design flexibility than standard metal kits. We manage everything in-house—from architectural design and engineering to framing, interior design, and general contracting—so your project moves forward with confidence and clarity.

If you’re looking for a faster start, we also work with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable barndominium kits tailored to fit your land, budget, and build goals.
