Shipping

  • Tamlin quality control ensures that your materials arrive on site in original condition, protected from the elements and on time.
  • For smaller homes, one shipment is enough but for larger homes, split shipments are scheduled so the materials needed first are on the right truck as required on site.
  • Delicate materials such as doors, windows, timber frame and finishing materials are packaged carefully to avoid damage during transport; smaller items like hardware are boxed separately
  • All materials are inspected, crated, wrapped, packaged and clearly labelled
  • Individual loads are weighed and arranged to maximize the truck’s capacity, given road weight restrictions; extra shipping costs are avoided
  • Special “hiab” crane trucks can be arranged to deliver and unload easily on site
  • Deliveries to coastal, island & remote locations can be made by truck, ferry or barge
  • Full insurance and shipping coordination across Canada

…your method of packaging the lumber up into logical lifts and the documentation explaining what was in each package and its intended use made the framing very efficient…
