Dedicated to benchmark quality.

Doric Inc. is founded upon the time-honored tradition that a fine home builder must be firmly rooted in the high craft of carpentry. In 1971 Doric Creager entered the Carpenter's Local 98 Apprenticeship Program, & departed in 1977 to begin his career in fine home building. With a blend of creativity, innovation, and collaboration, our team turns visionary designs into reality.

Energy-aware and green fluent

Doric Inc. has been involved in energy-conscious homes since the advent of earth-sheltered housing in the late 1970s, and was an early participant in the Earth Sheltered Housing Institute at the University of Minnesota in 1980. The team recognized the need for energy-conscious design, planning and use of materials long before green was "Green." 

From conscientious planning to site specific architecture, Doric Inc. knows that quality sustainable materials, responsible architecture and construction are the foundation of a successful green home.

Considered one of the best—by the best

The Robb Report selected one of Doric Inc’s company projects as the "Best of the Best." The American Institute of Architects presented the company with the Honor Award at the National Convention in Las Vegas for the "Chicken Point Cabin" a private residence. Doric Inc. was again commended by the AIA with a Design award for "Small Projects" at the National Convention in Chicago.

2019 AIA Homes of Distinction Recognition

In 2019 the AIA once again recognized a Doric Inc.-crafted remodel, the "Cannon Hill Residence," as a 2019 Home of Distinction. The AIA Homes of Distinction program recognizes both the Design and Realization of projects from the aspects of problem-solving, inspiration, sustainability, and integrated design. Doric Creager continues his relationship with the National Body as an Associate Member of his local chapter.

Recognized worldwide, Doric Inc. is the evolution and realization of a goal to bring together time honored traditions, fine craftsmanship, and conscientious building.
