What We Do
At DC Builders, we provide a full-service custom homebuilding experience that includes everything from design and engineering to framing, interior planning, and general contracting. Our in-house team works collaboratively to deliver a smoother, more personalized building process—so you can focus on what matters most.
While we’re known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, we design every home from scratch based on your land, goals, and design vision. Whether you’re inspired by traditional Western styling, mountain-modern aesthetics, or something in between, we’ll help you bring your vision to life with craftsmanship, quality materials, and expert project management. We also offer pre-engineered building kits through our sister company, DC Structures, for those looking to simplify their construction timeline.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we understand what it means to build in places like Elko—where the land is rugged, the values run deep, and the homes are made to stand the test of time. With more than 20 years of experience designing and constructing custom homes in rural, remote, and high-desert areas across the West, we bring the knowledge and care needed to deliver a home that feels like it belongs here—and belongs to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. With its abundance of land, panoramic views, and quiet pace of life, Elko is a great location for building a spacious, high-quality home. It’s especially well-suited to families, retirees, and anyone seeking a more independent lifestyle.
Yes—we’ve designed homes for a wide range of rural property types, including equestrian facilities, family ranches, and off-grid builds. Our team can help you assess your land, create a site plan, and design a home that works with your lifestyle and long-term goals.
Most custom homes in Elko take 12 to 18 months from design to completion. Thanks to our simplified build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—we help speed up on-site construction. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and 8–9 weeks for finishing.
