International Business – History
Here is a brief history of our international business. Over the years we have shipped to Japan, Asia and Europe.
The concept of packaged homes grew from a need to provide builders with a simple and dependable construction system, especially when building in remote areas. And when Tamlin began helping new builders in other countries learn and apply our proven Canadian building methods, it proved to be the ideal solution.
Contractors all over the world soon realized the huge benefits of engaging Tamlin to design the house and ship a complete package of building materials directly to the site. For builders, the logistical challenge of dealing with many different companies, arranging shipment of materials to a variety of destinations, as well as creating extremely detailed plans and material installation guides were all simplified into one dependable package.
Our construction system handles everything from foundation details to engineering and material specifications in a complete house package, reducing errors and providing builders with an easy method of assembling a prefabricated custom timber frame house.
Since Tamlin’s early days as a General Contractor for residential homes in Vancouver, B.C., we have welcomed the challenges in the housing industry. We have not only designed and supplied materials for each project, but often assumed project management functions involving coordination of subtrades sent overseas to build homes.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s many projects were exported to Japan, Asia, and Europe. Tamlin continued to refine its system, learning first hand how to design and meet building codes, prepare precise material lists for translation in different languages, and ensuring that every item required for each house was carefully loaded for shipping. Once on site, Tamlin was there to help build each home, making sure stringent schedules were met. Whether shipping to an island 50 miles from our facility, or 5000 miles to another country, we take the same care with planning and detail, with a passion for doing things right.
To date Tamlin International Homes has shipped to the USA (California, Washington, Montana, and the Eastern USA ), Japan, Korea, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Canary Islands, England, France, and Germany.

“Working with Tamlin has been a wonderful experience…Your architectural drawings gave us exactly what we wanted and your materials are far superior than what we would have found locally. Furthermore, the transport of materials across the international border was smooth and completely painless. In the end, we could not have been happier with our new building.”
“…[working with Tamlin Homes] has been such a wonderful experience and the work you have all done is amazing!! The house and timber frame is so beautiful! We cannot thank you enough!”
“Your firm (Tamlin Homes) delivered everything promised and then some. The advice you gave in the use of particular construction materials was very helpful and went beyond the knowledge of the architect and other advisors we were using. Thank you again for assisting us! It was a pleasure doing business with your company…”
