What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in crafting custom homes that reflect the unique character and lifestyle of our clients. Whether you’re envisioning a contemporary residence in Sandy’s suburban neighborhoods or a rustic retreat closer to Mount Hood, our comprehensive services cover every aspect of the construction process. From schematic design and structural engineering to interior design, framing, and general contracting, our integrated approach ensures a seamless and collaborative experience from concept to completion.
Our reputation is built on delivering high-quality homes that stand the test of time. While we are renowned for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, we tailor each project to align with your aesthetic preferences and functional needs. For those seeking a more streamlined building process, we collaborate with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable pre-engineered building kits. These kits provide a faster path to construction without compromising on quality or customization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely. Sandy is one of the most desirable gateway towns to Mount Hood, offering access to year-round recreation, excellent schools, and beautiful rural properties. It’s a great fit for those looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life while staying within reach of the Portland metro.
Yes—we specialize in building on challenging and scenic sites, including forested lots and hillside properties. Our team will assess your land early in the process and design a home that fits naturally into its surroundings while meeting local building requirements.
Most of our homes in Sandy take 12 to 18 months to complete, depending on permitting, design complexity, and site conditions. We speed up construction with a simplified build system that includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months, including 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
