What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction tailored to your goals, your property, and your design preferences. Whether you’re building in one of Forest Grove’s quiet neighborhoods or on land just outside city limits, our team manages every part of the process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. This full-service approach leads to a more seamless, efficient, and collaborative experience from start to finish.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we design is built from the ground up to reflect the client’s needs. For those seeking a faster path to construction, we also offer pre-engineered building kits through our sister company, DC Structures—each fully customizable and built to our exacting standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Forest Grove offers a mix of scenic rural properties and walkable neighborhoods, with quick access to both wine country and the Portland metro. It’s a great place for anyone looking to enjoy small-town living without being too far from city amenities.
Yes—we’ve worked with clients across Washington and Yamhill counties to build custom homes on rural lots, including hillside and wooded sites. We’ll help evaluate your land, navigate zoning requirements, and design a home that takes full advantage of the setting.
Most of our projects in the area take between 12 and 18 months, depending on permitting, design complexity, and site conditions. We speed up the process with a simplified build system that uses pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber. For example, a 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to complete, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
