Designing & Building with Tamlin Homes
Established in 1977, Tamlin is a leader in designing and manufacturing prefabricated home packages shipped across the USA, Canada, and overseas. We offer both contemporary and traditional timber frame designs, and work closely with homeowners and builders to create custom homes with prefabricated components for streamlined, cost-effective construction.
Drawing on over 40 years as an award-winning organization with design and general contracting experience, we are uniquely positioned to support our clients, making Tamlin a trusted choice for high-quality homes, especially for those building in remote locations.
Planning & Budgeting
At Tamlin Homes, we prioritize careful planning to ensure a seamless building experience tailored to your unique vision. From your initial consultation, we’ll help outline a rough budget and building timeline, guiding you through essential considerations like site conditions, local bylaws, and building restrictions. We offer a professional site assessment to evaluate building position, access, utility services, and potential challenges. Whether you’re considering building yourself or want full support, we’ll help you decide what’s best for your needs. Our skilled in-house design team is ready to bring your wish list to life, and with a realistic schedule in place, you can look forward to an enjoyable, well-organized building journey.
Permit & Construction Plans
Every building site comes with its own unique restrictions and bylaws, often leading to lengthy permit delays and extra costs for re-design, re-draw, and re-submission if not carefully managed. That’s why submitting a correct, code-compliant permit plan is essential. Tamlin Homes provides expertly detailed drawings that meet today’s rigorous environmental and engineering standards, helping you navigate the permit process smoothly. Our permit-ready plans include all necessary elements—floor plans, elevations, foundation plans, detailed sections, and an engineer’s stamp—to ensure approval. However, construction requires additional in-depth plans beyond permits, and Tamlin excels here with some of the industry’s most comprehensive construction drawings. These detailed, waterproof, and tear-proof plans streamline the building process, saving you time and money on-site.
Manufacturing
Tamlin’s manufacturing process combines factory-controlled production with precision joinery to ensure exceptional quality and ease of assembly on-site. Every timber component is meticulously test-fitted at our factory, then hand-sanded, numbered, and labeled for seamless identification during construction. For added protection and to reduce final finishing costs, we also offer factory pre-staining, giving your materials durability and a professional look from the start.
Shipping & Logistics
At Tamlin, we meticulously organize and check every house package to ensure quality, quantity, and accuracy before shipping. Materials are labeled, itemized, and securely packed to match your project’s specifications, with shipping options tailored to your site, including flatbed trucks, trailers, and ocean freight containers for overseas. We provide photos of the load to help your crew place materials efficiently upon arrival. With 100% Canadian materials sourced from high-quality BC forests, shipping to the U.S. is now easier than ever, offering excellent value for American home builders.
