What We Do
At DC Builders, we manage every aspect of your custom home under one roof—from architectural design and structural engineering to interior design, framing, and general contracting. This fully integrated process allows us to deliver a cohesive experience with fewer delays and more transparency every step of the way.
We’re widely recognized for our timber frame and hybrid wood homes, but every design we create is 100% custom. Whether you’re interested in clean, modern lines, rustic desert styling, or something in between, we’ll help you bring your vision to life with precision and creativity. For those seeking a more efficient path to construction, we also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable pre-engineered building kits.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we believe that building a custom home should be an inspiring, rewarding experience. In a region like Reno—where sun, wind, elevation, and views all play a role in design—we bring the expertise and adaptability needed to craft homes that perform beautifully and age gracefully. With over 20 years of experience building high-quality custom homes across the West, we’re here to help you create a home that’s every bit as enduring as it is beautiful.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Reno is one of Nevada’s fastest-growing cities, offering natural beauty, strong long-term value, and a wide range of lifestyle opportunities. Whether you’re planning a primary residence, second home, or investment property, it’s a great place to build.
Absolutely. We regularly design and build homes on sloped, view-oriented, and rural lots. Our team will help you assess your site, navigate permitting, and create a home that takes full advantage of your property’s features.
Custom homes in Reno typically take 12 to 18 months to complete. With our streamlined build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—we reduce on-site labor and help keep your project moving. A 3,000 sq. ft. home generally takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and 8–9 weeks for finishing.
