Where Design Meets Craftsmanship

Founded in 2014, brothers Mel and Justin Riley combined their design skills and decades of building experience to create DC Build.

Having spent the latter parts of their careers leading large commercial projects, they wanted to find their way back to residential builds. They wanted to craft homes that not only bring the architectural vision to the real world, but make the owner, the architect and the team proud to be part of it.

And for the last decade, that’s exactly what they’ve done.

Testimonials

“Mel and team – Ray and I would like to thank you all for the fantastic, excellent job you did on our renovations. The deck was way more than we expected. It was a beautiful job. All the little extras you did really made it extra special. The interior of the house was also great. We are so excited about how much space we now have and the excellence in the workmanship. Your great advice and knowledge made it so much easier an experience in what is a very stressful time. We would recommend you without hesitation to anyone. Great job, thank you.”

Carol Keyes

“During our recent renovations prior to selling, I brought DC Build on to remove an existing old concrete deck design and construct a new one as well as entrance to our property and can gladly say they did a fantastic job. They handled all aspects of the design, consent and build beautifully and were conscientious in listening and accommodating our wants and needs along the way. Mel and Justin, along with their team, are brilliant to work and deal with, happily offering solutions and advice and often going above-and-beyond to gain fantastic end results.”

“Can’t recommend the DC team enough, we used Mel for the plans of our new build. It has all past council and the build has been very successful. The service that we received from Mel and his team far exceeded expectations they really went above and beyond for the after-product service. Cheers team DC.”

Brett Dickie

“I thoroughly recommend DC Build; after a series of let-downs from unreliable trades, Melvin and his team came to our rescue and were outstanding. Mel’s communication was second to none, always responsive and ensuring the project ran smoothly. Kalvin and Tom worked super hard, did a fantastic job and were lovely guys to have around! Mel and the team saw the project through to completion, taking care of every small detail and helping to make the renovation process much less stressful than it could have been. A great team who are reliable, highly skilled and generally really good people. Thank you!”

Victoria Morris

We are also very happy with the building work of Chris and the team. We love our new place! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We highly recommend DC builders!”
