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.

With over 20 years of experience building in scenic and remote locations across the West, our team understands what it takes to execute complex projects with care and confidence. Whether you’re building your dream retreat or a legacy property to share with generations, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Whitefish is one of Montana’s premier mountain towns, offering world-class skiing, a vibrant downtown, and year-round outdoor recreation. It’s especially popular with luxury homeowners, second-home buyers, and retirees looking to settle somewhere peaceful and inspiring.
Yes—our team has extensive experience designing homes on complex sites, including hillside, wooded, and view-oriented parcels. We’ll help assess your property and develop a plan that balances aesthetics, durability, and long-term performance.
Most homes in the Whitefish area take 12 to 18 months, depending on permitting, site conditions, and design scope. With our simplified build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—we help shorten the timeline without cutting corners. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and 8–9 weeks for finishing.
