Wheeler Consulting

		Paul, who came for training in February 2005, - in his own words. "After 20 plus years working in Industrial Automation for large corporations, I decided that I would like to be in control of my own life, income and future. In August 2003, I started looking in earnest at some opportunities for self-employment, and found most of them to be unsuitable, restrictive (franchises), or fads. When I came across the Material Takeoff opportunity with Wheeler Consulting, this immediately drew my interest. I am technical by nature, enjoy projects and building things. After meeting with Blake and Susan Wheeler, I was sure that this was the opportunity for me, and I haven't looked back."
"Upon returning from my week of training, I met with my financial advisor about setting up a SEP retirement account. After explaining my new business opportunity to my advisor, he indicated that he had some custom home builders as clients and asked if he could give them my card. Sure! Well, the phone rang the next day, and a prominent custom home builder was eager to meet with me. I received two more calls from builders - all before I even started a marketing campaign, and my business is taking off (no pun intended)." "Clearly, there is a large void in the home building industry, and I feel that the Wheelers have devised a niche solution. I am very excited about the prospects for success."

Chuck, a residential builder, wanted a more secure financial future for his young family.

Although a successful builder, Chuck became frustrated with the steady increase in governmental regulations, insurance costs, and the risks associated with being a builder. With a young family to support, he was looking for another way to use all of his knowledge—and this was perfect for him. He started his Material Takeoff business in January, 2003.

Chuck has finished a new home office, added a second work station late in 2003, and trained one of his family members to produce takeoffs so he can continue to expand.

		Mike, a builder, wanted to add value to his existing business. Mike had been looking for some time for an additional opportunity to add to his existing home-building business - something that would be less physically demanding and that would ensure that, when the time came to "hang up the hammer", he would still be able to profit from his knowledge. He started his Material Takeoff Business in April, 2002 Mike has built a thriving Material Takeoff Business in his area, to which he devotes roughly half his time, and he still runs a crew and builds custom homes.
