EXPERIENCE

01/01/1981-01/01/2007

ELECTRICIAN/ GENERAL LABOR, RL BUILDERS

I have been working for a family based general construction company since I’ve been 16 legally and before that off the books. I have done everything from general labor, to roofing, carpentry, tile work, insulation, and I am a licensed electrician since 1995. I would run all the day to day operations for the company.

01/02/2007 – PRESENT

OWNER, RL BUILDERS, CUSTOM LUXURY HOMES

I took over the company in 2007 so that my father could retire and take care of my mother. We have survived the market crash by reinventing ourselves as a complete project management and general construction company. I have done million dollar renovations, tear down demolitions, and have built new homes. We average about 2 new homes a year because I do not like to take more than I can service personally. I am on the job everyday making sure my clients get all the value they are entitled too. I hold a current real estate license and a current supervising electrical license EDUCATION

ST FRANCIS IN JOLIET, JOLIET JR. COLLEGE

I was an exceptional student in an Organizational Management program offered by St Francis. I held a 4.0 GPA and was nominated for Phi Beta Kappa. My curriculum included both business classes and psychology. I had a 2yr associates from JJC with a 3.87 GPA but did not finish my bachelors because I was working in a family business and my father thought I was taking to much time away from my daily duties. I can provide my transcript if asked and had about 100 credit hours completed. I never stop learning.

SKILLS

I don’t think you will find another candidate

with the hands on experience running a large

scale general construction firm.

I not only have field experience but run

scheduling flawlessly, supply logistics, and

purchasing. We are a full service firm.

2007- present

o I took over sole responsibility for RL Builders and changed the name to RL Builders; Custom Luxury Homes

o We did not incur any loss due to the 2008 crash but did have a slowdown for the first 4 years where we survived on commercial buildouts, home renovations, and additions to existing structures.

o We built (2) homes in 2012 in Homer Glen when no one else was doing anything. Each home was $500,000

o As the market recovered we became busier. Because we had a good reputation with our suppliers and subs most have been tenured with us an average of 15 years with some as long as 30 yrs. I did not lose suppliers or subs except for some due to retirement. o In 2014 We built a 2800sq.ft. home in Orland for $400,000 o Between 2014- present we have built 7 upscale homes between 2800 and 4500 square feet for about 5 million in sales.

You can see the portfolio of homes for RL Builders at RLBuildsCustom.com, this will link to our HOUZZ page which has more of our recent work.

I am very selective on who I will work for. I don’t market except my web site and HOUZZ page which I don’t update regularly and I don’t chase accounts. I keep a high standard so my pricing seems a bit higher than some but I provide such detail in my specification sheets that my educated cliental realize I’ve included everything so there are no major surprises later that can cost them more money.
