What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction tailored to your vision, your property, and your lifestyle. Whether you’re planning a family home in a quiet Tualatin neighborhood or building on acreage just outside the city, our team handles every aspect of the process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. This all-in-one approach allows for a smoother, more collaborative experience from start to finish.
We build homes that perform beautifully and last for generations, using top-tier materials and craftsmanship that reflects our Oregon roots. While we’re especially known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, we design every home to meet the unique needs and aesthetic of each client. For those looking for a streamlined path to construction, we also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable pre-engineered building kits—delivered and built with the same high standards you can expect from DC Builders.
