What We Do
At DC Builders, we offer a comprehensive, in-house approach to custom residential construction. From the first design consultation to final completion, we manage every aspect of the project—including architectural design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That full-service model ensures a seamless process with clear communication, cohesive design, and high-end craftsmanship throughout.
We’re known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we create is 100% tailored to the client. Whether your style leans rustic, modern, or something in between, we’ll help you create a home that fits your lifestyle and captures the spirit of the San Juan Mountains. For clients interested in pre-engineered building kits, we also work closely with our sister company, DC Structures, to design and construct homes based on their customizable prefab models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Telluride is one of Colorado’s premier destinations for luxury mountain homes. With a strong real estate market, breathtaking surroundings, and unmatched recreational access, it’s the ideal location for high-end custom builds that retain long-term value.
Absolutely. We regularly design homes for challenging terrain, view-oriented lots, and areas with complex permitting or architectural review. Our team works closely with clients, local planners, and HOAs to ensure your home fits the land, meets the code, and maximizes design opportunities.
Custom home projects in Telluride typically take 12 to 18 months. Our streamlined build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—helps reduce delays in remote or hard-to-access areas. 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.
