Your Livingston Custom Home Builder

Serving Clients in the Southwestern Montana Region Since 2002

With its wide-open spaces, eclectic charm, and breathtaking views of the Absaroka Mountains, Livingston is one of Montana’s most treasured places to build a custom home. Whether you’re creating a rustic-modern ranch on acreage, a quiet retreat just outside town, or a legacy home with panoramic mountain vistas, Livingston offers the space, freedom, and beauty to make it all possible. At DC Builders, we specialize in crafting custom homes that are deeply connected to their surroundings and designed with the homeowner’s vision at the heart. If you’re planning to build in Livingston or anywhere in Park County, our team is here to guide you through every step—efficiently, creatively, and with the highest level of care.

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.

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.
