Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The wealth quintiles are constructed from the raw data files after the data have been collected. Using household level characteristics (or "assets"), a principal components analysis is done with households as units. The first principal component is interpreted as the continuous wealth index. The quintiles (hv270 in the PR file) are constructed from the continuous index (hv271). The DHS website provides more details.
