DC Structures is home to America’s best and most complete pre-engineered building kits, with over fifteen years’ experience in designing the most beautiful and durable heavy timber structures in the nation. We rise above the competition by providing our clients with the highest quality buildings made from the best materials, including select-grade lumber sourced from the Pacific Northwest. Our wide selection of options and upgrades give you the ability to customize your timber frame home with a number of high-grade doors, windows, and aesthetic design elements. No matter your vision, we’re committed to crafting a timber home that exceeds your expectations and exemplifies our passion for your project.

Our simplified kit process makes it easy for clients to personalize their desired timber home kit according to their style and interests. With the help of one of our project coordinators, you can customize the existing blueprint of any timber frame home by selecting from hundreds of available options and upgrades. This includes adding heavy timber stairs or replacing our standard cedar board and batten siding with DC Barnwood cedar siding that is made to resemble reclaimed wood. When it comes to designing your dream timber home, the possibilities are endless!

We source the finest wood materials from our mill-direct connections in the Pacific Northwest to provide you with the highest quality pre-engineered timber home in the nation. All of our timber home kits are framed with select-grade lumber, including Douglas fir purlins and rafters and heavy timber trusses. Our kits also come standard with premium knotty alder doors and window packages from our partners at Pella. If you’re seeking something a bit different than our standard offerings, you can easily choose from a wide array of available options and upgrades that add value to any timber frame structure.

At DC Structures, we provide an unparalleled prefabrication system that is designed to take the guesswork out of the construction process and ensure a fast and cost-effective build. Through the prefabrication process, our experienced craftsmen pre-cut, drill, and label all the framing materials included in your building package in our facility in Oregon. This process ensures that no materials are wasted and your structure is constructed in an efficient and precise manner. Prefabrication also allows for 30% to 50% fewer framing man hours than a conventional structure, saving our clients thousands of dollars in equipment rental fees and labor costs.

Timber framing is an ancient building method that uses wooden joinery instead of metal brackets to connect the large posts and beams that form the frame of a structure. We use some of the strongest woodworking joints, including mortise and tenon, to frame our timber homes. The mortise is a cavity that is cut into a piece of wood. It is designed to secure a wooden tongue, otherwise referred to as the tenon, on the end of another wood piece that is then inserted into the mortise. When cut to precision, mortise and tenon joints ensure posts and beams are securely fastened to each other and create a durable frame that can stand for generations.

We partner with virtual project management platform Buildertrend to provide you with real-time, 24/7 access to your project details so you can stay in the loop on your home’s progress. Buildertrend allows you to manage your project from anywhere and communicate with our team and your builder using in-app messaging tools. Taking control of your building kit process has never been easier!

Before signing on to a materials package from DC Structures, one of our project coordinators will walk you through our product line and the available options and upgrades to help you choose a home that is uniquely yours. Once you’ve approved the proposal and selected a ship date, we’ll review the building plans with your contractor to answer any questions about the design, materials, construction methods, and delivery. Our craftsmen will then pre-fabricate the wood components included in your package and send them to the destination of your choosing. Finally, our team stays on call for the duration of your build to ensure everything goes according to plan.
