Built for life in Brewster
Brewster runs the full length of Route 6A, which places a large share of the town inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior design, materials, and anything visible from the road go through Historic District Committee review, so those decisions belong in the first design conversations rather than the last ones.
DC Builders has worked on Cape Cod for more than 40 years, serving homeowners across the Cape from its East Falmouth base. Owner Dave Cleary stays involved from the first conversation through the final walkthrough, giving homeowners one experienced point of accountability throughout the job.

- Coordination with architects, engineers, designers, and trusted trades

Permitting and site conditions
Details that deserve early attention
Because the town follows Route 6A for its full length, much of Brewster sits inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, where the Historic District Committee reviews exterior design, materials, and anything visible from the road. On the Cape Cod Bay side, tidal flats and low-lying lots raise their own questions about elevation and drainage. Much of the town also relies on private wells and septic systems, so Title 5 capacity often shapes what a given lot can realistically support.
DC Builders helps organize those decisions with the design and construction team, turning a long list of possibilities into a practical scope.

What should I know about the Old King's Highway historic district in Brewster?
Because Brewster follows Route 6A from one end of town to the other, a large share of the town falls inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior design, materials, and anything visible from the road go through Historic District Committee review, so those choices are worth settling early rather than late. Bringing them into the first design conversations keeps the drawings and the approval process pointed in the same direction.
