West Coast Signature Homes Designed to Exceed Your Expectations

Tamlin (International) Homes Ltd, established in 1977 , is based in Langley , British Columbia, and is proud to be 100% Canadian owned and operated. Our business is designing and building custom residential homes and unique timber frame dwellings with a distinct “west coast” feel. We are full general contractor/builder in the Vancouver Area and Fraser Valley in B.C., and we also manufacture home “packages” that are shipped to remote building areas, or to other provinces within Canada. Over the years Tamlin has grown our family of professional designers, building crews/sub-trades, and network of local building specialists to provide a unique custom level of service to each of our clients.

One of our specialties is “timber frame” or “post and beam” construction. These days, our “hybrid” homes integrate a balance of contemporary or traditional styles, so you can have “as much” or “as little” wood features or custom wood joinery in your home. While each one of our homes is designed to meet your specifications, our goal is always to exceed your expectations.

Our approach to “West Coast Style ” design include three elements. First, we try to incorporate natural features such as wood and stone, and eco-friendly materials that will last a long time. Second we design using an open concept, with spacious and functional areas, which allow for ease of traffic flow, but privacy and comfort where you need it. Third we design using the highest level of materials quality and installation, with special focus on energy efficiency to save you money.

Over the years Tamlin has amassed a diversified project portfolio including

Residential Homes
Custom Cottages
Remote/Island Projects
Commercial Buildings
Prefabricated Timber and Log Chalets
Licensed Builder in B.C.

About the Owners

CHRIS LYNN

DESIGN & ENGINEERING
MANAGING PARTNER

“Given that most people only build a house once or twice in their lifetime, our goal is to provide the expertise and professional support to successfully plan, design, and construct each one of our client’s projects. My role is to understand and recommend the best methods of putting each project together by understanding the “big” picture ,including the scope of each project, budgets, financing, architecture, building trades, interior design, scheduling, and all the other aspects of successful general contracting”

Paul, who is now in his FIFTIES (unlike his youthful photo!), has almost 25 years of experience in business operations, sales, and project management in the housing industry. He enjoys the hands-on communication and coordination of each custom building project , and he thrives on getting projects off the ground after careful and detailed planning. But most of all, Paul just likes dealing with people.

“My objective is to design with my clients’ objectives in mind and at the same time, offer a balance of the practical and functional elements of each house project within the overall design. Our technical building knowledge in so many areas of architecture and construction, enables us to communicate effectively with our engineers and sub-trades to ensure that our design details are carried through to the final construction completion stage . Along the way, we always manage to come up with optimal solutions which focus on the highest level of quality in construction”

With nearly 25 years of design, engineering, project management, and architectural expertise, Chris Lynn has honed his skills to coordinate the myriad of construction details for each building project. Chris has what it takes to manage a diversified range of projects requiring careful thought, precision, an unbiased interpretation of clients’ ideas – and creating a highly personalized approach to the design and construction process.

The reason for Tamlin’s success has been our complete commitment to our clients.
