MODERN HOME KITS

There’s a good reason why more and more modern homes are popping up around the nation, and it doesn’t just have to do with their eye-catching exteriors. In more ways than one, modern homes offer the perfect mix of form and function, with this architectural style blending modernism and minimalism to create a sustainable structure naturally suited to the needs of its owners. With a modern home design from DC Structures, you can create a striking family residence defined by its clean lines, expansive windows, and bright and open living spaces. If you’re interested in building a unique and futuristic home on your property, keep reading below to learn more about our new modern home kits!

What is a Modern Home Kit?

Our modern home kits are pre-engineered design and materials packages that come with everything you and your builder need to assemble the frame of your structure, including detailed blueprints, framing materials, windows and doors, siding, hardware, and more. Using our revolutionary CNC woodworking machine, our team will translate your design plans into precisely cut, drilled, and individually labeled pieces of framing lumber used for your exterior walls, roof, and floor components. With all lumber pieces cut to length, primed for hardware, and bundled in sections, our team will start preparing your building package for delivery in our off-site manufacturing facility. From there, we’ll wrap, strap, and palletize your package for shipment on one of our flatbed trucks and deliver it straight to your job site for easy assembly.

Why DC Structures?

DC Structures is home to America’s best and most complete line of pre-engineered building models, with our team boasting over two decades of experience in crafting one-of-a-kind heavy timber, hybrid, and conventionally framed structures. Headquartered in the Pacific Northwest, we source the finest mill-direct lumber from our regional suppliers to ensure our structures are not only built to last but remain strong and beautiful for decades. With our talented team of designers, project coordinators, and craftsmen working in tandem on your project, you can expect a customer experience and structure that reflects our high standards of quality and dedication to your vision. When it comes to your modern home project, there’s no better company for the job than DC Structures and no better time than now to get started.

DESIGN

Our team offers two unique approaches to the design process – the first being the option of selecting and customizing a pre-engineered building model from our kit collection, and the second being our custom design route. With our standard kit offering, our clients will have the opportunity to build off an existing building design and modify structural elements as needed or desired. They can also personalize their model with dozens of premium windows, doors, siding, and more from our trusted material partners. With our custom design option, however, clients can utilize our experienced in-house design team to create a completely custom structure from scratch. Taking inspiration from any photos, videos, or ideas you may have for your home, our designers will work closely with you to create an original structure that fully suits your needs, style, and personality.

MATERIALS

Our commitment to quality spans every aspect of our company, including and most importantly the materials we choose to incorporate in our structures. Our location in Portland, Oregon, gives us exclusive access to some of the world’s most valuable timber exports, including select-grade Douglas fir timbers, Western red cedar, and coastal redwood – all of which make a noticeable difference in and outside one’s home. Our heavy timbers come free of heart center (FOHC), meaning the soft pith in the middle of the tree has been removed from the final cut to bolster its structural integrity and longevity. Our timbers are also kiln-dried, pre-surfaced on all four sides, and subject to multiple quality inspections to achieve their desired moisture content, strength, and beauty.

OPTIONS & UPGRADES

Our company offers a wide selection of premium options and upgrades to choose from for your modern home, including high-end windows and doors from Andersen and Pella, James Hardie fiber cement siding, Trex Enhance decking, and so much more. We work with the most trusted building material brands to ensure your home is quality through and through and designed to provide optimal protection and comfort in any season. We also offer dozens of heavy timber upgrades for your residential design so you can create a one-of-a-kind space bursting with character and warmth. If you’re looking for ways to enhance your building investment, look no further than our available options and upgrades for your dream home!

ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDING MATERIALS

One of the key elements of modern home design is sustainability and, more specifically, how each feature of your home contributes to a greener way of living. At DC Structures, we pride ourselves on offering several eco-friendly options and upgrades for homeowners, as well as framing and insulation options designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve R-values, and boost energy efficiency. For instance, we work with top material brands like James Hardie, Andersen, and Pella to provide our clients with long-lasting, sustainable material solutions for their structures, including non-combustible fiber cement siding and fiberglass windows and doors.

OPEN-ENDED FLOORPLANS

Our pre-engineered building models come with flexible floor plans that you can easily tailor to meet your individual room needs.

For example, several clients have modified their chosen building kits to include full and daylight basements for increased square footage and usage. We’ve also seen some clients expand the size of their sample primary bedroom suites to include spacious walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms with stand-alone tubs and luxurious showers.
