What We Do
At DC Builders, we manage every phase of your homebuilding journey under one roof—including architectural design, structural engineering, interior selections, framing, and general contracting. This all-in-one model creates a seamless experience from concept to completion, with fewer delays and clearer communication.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we build is tailored to the client’s land, goals, and personal style. Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic-modern home on acreage, a contemporary build near downtown, or something in between, we’ll help bring your ideas to life with craftsmanship and care. We also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable pre-engineered building kits for clients seeking a faster, more efficient build process.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we believe that the best custom homes are grounded in purpose—designed to suit both the landscape and the people living in them.

With over 20 years of experience designing and building homes in the Pacific Northwest, we’re here to make the experience just as rewarding as the finished result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Olympia is known for its natural beauty, affordable land, and strong sense of community. It’s an ideal location for homeowners who want space to build, close access to the outdoors, and a vibrant small-city lifestyle.
Absolutely. We regularly work on projects outside city limits in areas like Tumwater, Lacey, and beyond. Our team will help you evaluate your site, plan for infrastructure and access, and create a home that feels like it belongs to the land.
Most custom homes in Olympia take 12 to 18 months from design to completion. Our simplified build system—which includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—helps streamline construction and reduce on-site delays. 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.
