Dwight and Debbie Smith were drawn to the Kootenay Region from New Brunswick because of the area's natural beauty and friendly residents. Because they moved here for lifestyle, their investment followed by necessity. Dwight and Debbie noticed the region has some of the best timber in the world but much of this raw material was being shipped away. They decided to utilize Dwight's timber frame building skills and tap into the region's access to timber resources.
The Smith's made their investment a success by identifying a market niche, slowly growing their business from their backyard to a full scale 45 person operation, and focusing on quality and detail of product. Now harvesting their own timbers, providing custom design, completely utilizing every piece of wood, and shipping to clients across North America, Hamill Creek Timber Homes exemplifies Invest Kootenay's message of 'live here work anywhere'.
