## About
Tamlin International Homes, established in 1977, is based in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. We are an industry leader in the design and manufacture of West Coast prefabricated home packages that are shipped across Canada and the USA. While we specialize in Douglas Fir Timber Frame (Post and Beam) homes, we have developed a market niche in offering both west coast contemporary and traditional timber designs. Tamlin works with homeowners, builders and architects to design each home while integrating and optimizing prefabricated components to simplify construction. This saves significant time, costs and resources on site. While our business is prefabricated homes, we draw from over 40 years of hands-on experience as an award-winning general contractor to add an unparalleled value to each project. Our head office in Coquitlam, BC is conveniently located in the Vancouver area. Come visit our display office where you can plan your entire house building from start to finish. Our expert staff and project managers are available to work with you on custom designing your home and building your dream house. If you have a remote building project, our custom prefabricated building systems are the perfect solution and can be shipped and assembled anywhere. We are proud to have our own panelizing and timber production facility. Contact us today for a free design consultation at our new 3,000 square ft. design and display office in Coquitlam.

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemized quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
