What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction that’s anything but cookie-cutter. We handle every aspect of your project under one roof—including architectural design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting—ensuring a seamless, well-managed process from beginning to end.
We’re widely recognized for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we build is designed specifically for the client. Whether you’re after a clean-lined contemporary, a rustic lodge-style residence, or something in between, we’ll help bring your vision to life. We also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer pre-engineered building kits that can be fully customized to suit your property and preferences

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we don’t just build homes—we build lasting partnerships with the people we serve. That means thoughtful designs, honest communication, and a team that’s invested in your project from day one. In a place like Fort Collins, where outdoor living, craftsmanship, and quality of life matter deeply, we’re committed to building homes that match the character of the land and the goals of each homeowner. With over 20 years of experience in custom residential construction, we’re here to make your experience as smooth and rewarding as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Fort Collins offers a rare combination of mountain access, cultural appeal, and strong long-term value. It’s a top destination for families, retirees, and second-home buyers who want space, scenery, and a high quality of life.
Yes—we frequently work with clients building on large lots or scenic parcels outside of city limits. We’ll help you evaluate the land, navigate county permitting, and design a home that fits both your lifestyle and your landscape.
Most custom homes in the Fort Collins area take 12 to 18 months from initial design to final walkthrough. With our simplified build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—we help speed up the process without compromising quality. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
