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 the building process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That means a smoother experience for you and a finished home that’s cohesive, intentional, and beautifully built.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we design is tailored to the client—whether that means a modern home with clean lines, a traditional farmhouse, 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 construct custom homes based on their signature line of prefab models.

Yes—Oregon City offers a unique mix of history, natural beauty, and community charm that makes it a great choice for custom homebuilding. Whether you’re looking for a wooded lot, river views, or easy access to Portland, there’s a wide variety of properties and neighborhoods to choose from.
Absolutely. Many of our projects in Oregon City and the surrounding area involve sloped or view-oriented properties. We’ll assess your lot and work closely with you to design a home that takes advantage of the landscape while meeting all local zoning and engineering requirements.
Most of our custom homes in Oregon City take between 12 and 18 months from start to finish. We streamline the process by using a simplified build system that includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—saving time on site and helping keep your project on track. For example, a 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to complete, including 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
