          bull dozed down, so there is a need to meet the
        
        
          standards of very stringent building codes with
        
        
          seismic upgrades for earthquakes, and energy
        
        
          upgrades, and requiring what is known in the
        
        
          industry as a building “envelope”, also known
        
        
          as watertight and airtight enclosure.
        
        
          “It’s ridiculously complicated for home own-
        
        
          ers to understand. We can have all of the pro-
        
        
          fessional staff, about 15 staff in our head office
        
        
          in 40-50 different sub-trades to get through
        
        
          all the documentation, building codes, inspec-
        
        
          tions. Every municipality and region is differ-
        
        
          ent, even though there are blanket-building
        
        
          codes in Canada and B.C. It’s a huge challenge,”
        
        
          said Tabuchi.
        
        
          One municipality can be totally different
        
        
          from another, he noted. A contractor or com-
        
        
          pany will not pass inspection if the work is not
        
        
          done exactly right according to code.
        
        
          “You need to do it efficiently, as well as have
        
        
          the brain power to get it exact,” he stressed.
        
        
          We have to prove to clients that they chose the
        
        
          right company. It’s all apart of the process.”
        
        
          Judging by the company’s numerous verifi-
        
        
          able testimonials and referrals, Tamlin Homes
        
        
          is certainly one of the best service oriented
        
        
          companies in the country. “We’re totally cus-
        
        
          tomer-focused with everything we do, and
        
        
          that’s always about always making lasting qual-
        
        
          ity impression.”
