What We Do
At DC Builders, we design and construct timber frame homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. Based in the Pacific Northwest, our firm brings over two decades of experience to every project, offering comprehensive services that include custom design, structural engineering, framing, and general contracting. Whether you’re building on a hillside, nestled in the woods, or in a neighborhood development, we’re equipped to handle every detail with expertise and care.
We also work with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable timber frame home kits for clients looking to fast-track their build with a pre-engineered solution. No matter the path you choose, we’ll help you create a home that’s tailored to your needs, site, and lifestyle.
