What We Do
At DC Builders, we manage every phase of the building process in-house—from initial design to final completion. That includes architectural design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. With a fully integrated approach, we deliver a more cohesive and personalized experience at every step.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we design is built around our clients’ style and site. Whether you’re interested in a clean-lined modern home, a Northwest contemporary with warm natural textures, or something entirely your own, we’ll help you create a space that’s functional, enduring, and completely original. For clients seeking a hybrid design-build path, we also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable pre-engineered building kits suited to your goals.

In a market like Seattle—where environmental conditions, permitting complexity, and architectural expectations all play a role—we bring the knowledge and experience needed to guide your project with clarity and precision. With over 20 years of experience designing and constructing custom homes across the Pacific Northwest, our team knows how to translate your vision into a home that performs, inspires, and stands the test of time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Seattle is one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the country, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, quality design, and long-term investment. It’s a fantastic place to build a one-of-a-kind home tailored to your lifestyle.
Absolutely. We’ve worked with clients building on narrow city lots, sloped parcels, and properties with strict zoning requirements. Our team will help you navigate Seattle’s permitting process and develop a design that makes the most of your land.
Factors like permitting, access, and site conditions can all affect your build timeline. Most Seattle-area homes take 12 to 18 months to complete. With our streamlined build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—we help minimize on-site delays. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
