Your Whitefish Custom Home Builder

Serving Clients in the Northwest region of Montana Since 2002

Surrounded by alpine lakes, dense forests, and panoramic mountain views, Whitefish is a destination where custom homes are designed to inspire. Whether you’re building a slope-side ski retreat, a modern-rustic residence near downtown, or a vacation home with timber accents and wide-open views, Whitefish offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop for bringing your dream home to life. At DC Builders, we specialize in crafting custom homes that reflect their surroundings and the unique vision of each client. If you’re building in Whitefish or anywhere in the Flathead Valley, we’re here to help you create something extraordinary—designed with purpose and built to last.

What We Do

At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction that’s anything but cookie-cutter. From the first sketch to the final walk-through, we handle every part of the process in-house—including architectural design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That means a more streamlined, cohesive experience for you—and a home that’s built with both artistry and precision.

We’re known for our timber frame and hybrid wood homes, but every project we take on is fully customized—whether that means a luxury ski lodge, a modern mountain cabin, or something entirely unique. 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 signature line of prefab models.
