The Tamlin Advantage for Building in California
Built for California State Requirements
Title 24 & All-Electric Ready
California’s energy code requires high-performance building envelopes and electrification-ready design. Our pre-insulated wall panels are engineered to meet Title 24 requirements, supporting a high-performance building envelope and long-term energy efficiency.
Streamlined ADU Approvals
Recent legislation, including SB 543, is helping create more defined timelines for ADU approvals in many California jurisdictions. Tamlin offers small home and ADU packages that can be designed to align with these evolving requirements.
WUI & Fire-Resistant Options
For projects in WUI-designated areas, we offer material options that support ignition-resistant construction, including non-combustible siding and ember-resistant venting. Our team can help align your home package with local requirements.
Designing for Wildfire Resilience in California
Material selections and detailing can be specified to support wildfire-resilient construction approaches commonly used in California.
Our team can help guide these selections based on your site and local requirements.
“Your architectural and engineering drawings gave us exactly what we wanted and your materials are far superior to what we would have found locally. Furthermore, the transport of your materials across the international border was painless. In the end, we could not be happier with our new building or more satisfied with the contributions Tamlin made toward making our dream become a reality.”
