What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in fully custom residential construction that’s tailored to fit your property, goals, and lifestyle. From initial concept to final walkthrough, we manage every phase in-house—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. This full-service model ensures consistency, transparency, and exceptional craftsmanship from start to finish.
We’re widely known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every Vail project is approached with fresh creativity. Whether you’re building a luxurious chalet with alpine finishes or a modern architectural statement with expansive glass and steel, we’ll create a home that exceeds expectations. We also work closely with our sister company, DC Structures, to deliver high-end building kits that can be customized for ski-town terrain and HOA guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Vail is one of the premier luxury home destinations in North America, offering long-term investment potential, unparalleled views, and year-round appeal. It’s ideal for vacation homes, legacy properties, or full-time residences with world-class amenities.
Absolutely. Our team has extensive experience designing homes on slopes, complex access sites, and within resort HOA guidelines. We’ll ensure your home is both high-performance and designed to make the most of its mountain setting.
Most custom homes in Vail take 12 to 18 months from start to finish, depending on size, permitting, and site access. Our simplified build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—helps accelerate on-site work. 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.
