DC Structures Review

DC Structures is an Oregon based designer and manufacturer of post and beam barn home kits. As a barn kit manufacturer, their product offerings range from livable apartment barn kits, barn home kits, and cabin kits to functional spaces such as horse barn kits and arena kits. In most cases, buyers will receive the necessary components to construct the shell of a home or barn and not interior finishes. As such, there can be a range in the cost of a finished home - a rough estimate is 3-5 times the cost of the kit. 

From a design standpoint, all of DC Structures prefab barn and home kits feature timber framing and wooden exteriors. It is also worth noting that DC Structures is unique from most kit home builders in the fact that they have general contractors on staff. This means that depending on your project and your preferences, they can act as your general contractor and take care of site work, the foundation, and finishing your home in addition to providing the kit home materials. 

Strengths:

  • They offer a full service option for interested customers (design, shipping, site work, assembly, and installation)

  • Homes are affordably priced

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You are looking for designs different from their offerings

  • You want the option to fully customize a design
