What We Do
DC Builders is a nationally respected design-build firm that creates custom barndominiums across the West. From initial floor plans and structural engineering to framing, interior design, and general contracting, we offer a fully integrated process that makes building easier and more rewarding.
For clients seeking a more efficient building solution, we also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer pre-engineered barndominium kits. These kits are ideal for rural lots in the Carson Valley and can be tailored to your goals, site conditions, and design preferences.
