          las fir timbers, which are hand-picked, hand-
        
        
          sanded and hand-crafted to achieve a stunning
        
        
          finish. Clients are often rendered speechless by
        
        
          the beauty of the timber frame beams during
        
        
          and after construction.
        
        
          Another approach that sets Tamlin Homes
        
        
          apart from the competition is the way in which
        
        
          the company showcases its construction prod-
        
        
          ucts and components.
        
        
          “The traditional general contractor just
        
        
          builds one house at a time. They don’t have the
        
        
          integrated in-house design system like we do.
        
        
          Our own head office is like walking into a show
        
        
          home where you can see all of the interior fur-
        
        
          nishings, the timberwork, and all of the spa-
        
        
          cious design concepts.  It functions as a place
        
        
          where people can be educated about how
        
        
          things come together: the design, and how
        
        
          customers can actually visualize their budgets
        
        
          to balance customized design with the costs of
        
        
          construction,” said Tabuchi.
