WHO WE ARE
Wise Investment Builders Enterprises, Ltd. is an exceptionally skilled custom home building company with creative insight and design. We work closely with our clients to create their dream home.
OUR HISTORY
We are owned and operated by Bob Cler, a carpentry craftsman. He is recognized for his knowledge, creativity and ability to tailor a custom home to the customer's needs.
​
Bob began his career in 1978, working with a highly skilled European craftsman from the Old Country. He advanced to carpentry foreman for a mid-sized builder in Chicago's northwestern suburbs.
In 1986, Bob formed Wise Investment Builders initially focusing on room additions and remodeling customers' existing homes in Elmhurst, Buffalo Grove and the surrounding suburbs.
​
By 1988, customers were expressing interest and desire for Bob to use his design ideas and expertise to build their "dream homes".
Bob's natural artistic abilities and superior carpentry skills have enabled him to fulfill his customers' dreams. His open communication with the customer throughout the project, facilitates a pleasant experience along with a warm and friendly working relationship.

KEY TEAM MEMBERS
Shelly, Bob's daughter and business partner, grew up around residential construction. She was often given odd jobs to do on his projects; in fact, one of her favorite memories is when she created a mosaic backsplash for the kitchen at one of Bob's spec homes (she was 12 at the time). In 2016, Shelly graduated from Baylor University with honors and a MS in Engineering. Post graduation, she found her passion for art, design, building things from the ground up, and working with people aligned best with her father's work. Now, she greatly enjoys working alongside her father, at Wise Investment Builders, building their clients' dream homes.
Celso, a trusted and valuable employee, has been with Wise Investment Builders for over 15 years. He has an active presence at our job sites. Celso's role is innumerable from providing job site maintenance, to managing material inventory, to on site communication. We receive frequent compliments on how clean and organized our job sites are, and we have Celso to thank for that. He takes pride in the work he does.
