What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction that’s anything but one-size-fits-all. From the first sketch to the final walk-through, we handle every aspect of your build under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That means a more seamless, coordinated experience—and a finished home that’s as intentional as it is beautifully built.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we design is unique—whether that means a craftsman-style residence, a modern cabin, or something completely original. For clients interested in pre-engineered building kits, we also work closely with our sister company, DC Structures, to design and build custom homes based on their signature line of prefab models.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we believe a great custom home begins with listening—to the land, to your lifestyle, and to what matters most to you. In a place like Livingston, where the pace is slower and the views are wide open, we take a thoughtful approach to every design, ensuring your home fits both the landscape and the life you’re building. With over 20 years of experience designing and constructing homes in rural, scenic areas across the West, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with building in places like this—and we’re here to deliver a process that’s smooth, collaborative, and focused on long-term quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Livingston offers small-town charm, proximity to Bozeman and Yellowstone, and plenty of room to build—making it a top choice for anyone looking to create a quiet, beautiful place to call home.
Yes—we specialize in building on remote parcels, sloped land, and sites with expansive views. Our team will help assess your land, guide you through the permitting process, and design a home that highlights your property’s best features.
Most custom homes in Livingston take 12 to 18 months from start to finish, depending on the complexity and conditions of the site. Our simplified build system—which includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—helps speed up on-site construction. 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.
