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.

What Our Customers Say

Alistair & Beth, Colorado

“The quality of Tamlin’s product and the workmanship that has gone into the timbers has been noted by one and all who are working on the project.”

George & Dorothy, Washington State

“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.”

Daniel & Cheryl, Connecticut

“From the time I found Tamlin online, my experience with your company was outstanding. Overall, the design team (Randy) and business group (Joanne) were honest, forthright and attentive to our needs. The materials and construction products are exceptional. The house is really well insulated and energy efficient. Our home is really beautiful and I strongly recommend using Tamlin.”

Amy & Joe, Ohio

“This has been such a wonderful experience and the work you have all done is amazing! The house is SO BEAUTIFUL! We can’t thank you enough.”

Marc & Dee, California

“Your firm 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 advisers we were using. Thank you again for assisting us!”
