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 luxury ski home, a minimalist lodge, or something completely custom. 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—we specialize in designing homes for complex sites, including sloped, wooded, and high-elevation properties. We’ll help you maximize views, navigate local regulations, and create a home that blends beautifully with its surroundings.
Most homes in the Sun Valley area take 12 to 18 months to complete. We help streamline the process with a simplified build system that includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber. For a 3,000 sq. ft. home, expect 9–12 months of build time, including 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
