Are you planning on building a Custom Home? Consider one of our “House Packages”– perfect for Remote or Island Locations –

Tamlin International Homes Ltd. specializes in Milled Log, Timber Frame and Northwest Custom house packages. Our headquarters, located in Langley, British Columbia, Canada is in close proximity to the world’s best softwoods including western red cedar, douglas fir, hemlock, spruce and pine. Our specialty is utilizing these wood species in our custom designed homes which we ship across Canada and export to the USA, Europe, Japan, and Asia. Our professional in-house design team can bring your ideas into each custom plan – whether it is a small cottage on an island, a residential house or a large scale resort building. Our House Packages include all structural wood components (floors, walls, & roof systems), doors windows, flooring, mouldings, hardware, interior and exterior finishes, and even roofing. All materials can be shipped directly to your site. With every project, we also provide a complete set of construction drawings and detailed bill of materials – and we are always available for building support.

We can help you design your house…on budgetAfter an initial consultation to understand your ideas and design criteria, our in-house design staff can help you decide the appropriate style, layout, and size of building which will meet your needs — and a key part of this process is creating drawings that are easy to visualize. Our Auto-CAD, and Colour Archi-CAD 3-D Renderings allow clients to see what their houses look like “finished” so changes can be made at the design stage.At Tamlin, we also have our own materials estimation department,so we keep costs in line by designing with your budget in mind. However, through experience we have found that using better quality materials in the beginning is often the best decision when maintenance, and after-service issues are considered. The bottom line is that we only recommend products that we would use if we were building our own house. Quality is always a concern.

Miller 6×8 “D” Log HousesOur most popular style of log house is the Milled 6×8 “D” profile in douglas fir. A premium grade of douglas fir log offers both the economy and quality which home builders appreciate. The logs are kiln dried, precut, prenotched, predrilled (for electrical) and numbered for simple and fast construction. The only finishing required is staining which many homeowners prefer to do themselves. Our 6×8 “D” log packages are ideal for remote locations or cottage settings. In addition to douglas fir we also offer our “D” log in spruce and western red cedar.

Timber Frame HousesTamlin’s Hybrid Timber Frame home is conventional 2×4/2×6 wood frame construction, complimented with the natural beauty of timber frame accents. A Hybrid package offers all the advantages of a timber frame home appearance, while maintaining the complete design and cost flexibility of a conventional system. Tamlin also designs and supplies Traditional Timber Frame house packages. Only the finest quality douglas fir, yellow cedar, and western red cedar timbers from British Columbia are used in Tamlin’s Traditional and Hybrid Timber Frame homes. Each timber is hand selected for the best appearance and strength. All timber frame components are test fitted, pre drilled and sanded at the factory, prior to shipping.

Nestled at the base of Mount Norman on South Pender Island, this sunny 2-bedroom completely self-contained cottage offers all the peace, tranquility and fresh air you have been seeking. With approximately 3 acres to roam, including a small playground area, this property is ideal for kids and pets to play. Settle into a comfortable Adirondack chair on the deck to read a book, look at the ocean, watch the eagles soar and listen as other birds sing their songs. If you feel like going for a hike, one of the finest on the Island is right outside your back door and takes you to the top of Mount Norman where you’ll be greeted with panoramic views of the ocean.

The vaulted ceiling, skylight and woodstove make this compact, charming cottage bright, cozy and comfortable no matter what the time of year. The roomy loft upstairs is accessed by a ship’s ladder and has a queen-size bed that looks out a large window onto the water. The lower bedroom has two comfy twin beds and is just down the hall from a full bathroom with a washer/dryer, and a fully-equipped kitchen, including a microwave, coffee-maker, and bread-maker.

Indoor entertainment includes one TV upstairs and another TV with CD/VCR downstairs. There is also a radio/CD player and many games and puzzles for all ages.

Subject to fire restrictions in place at the time of your visit, you may be permitted to have a campfire. A propane BBQ is also available for your use.

The Pender Islands are made up of North and South Pender Island, joined by a short one-lane bridge. Both islands are home to a number of talented artists, and are known for their community theatre, their arts activities, their fall fair, their crafts and their island-grown festivals, of which the New Year’s Lantern Festival is one. Amenities include restaurants, galleries, grocery and drug stores, bakery, medical services, RCMP, golf and Frisbee golf courses, tennis courts and several specialty coffee and gift stores.
