Schieler Family Continues a Building Tradition
Schieler Quality Builders is excited to announce that Rich Schieler continues the single family home building legacy started over 60 years ago by his father, Bob Schieler, Sr.
As one of the founding family members of Homeway Homes, Rich created the modular construction factory floor building processes from his knowledge and experience of traditional home building. As Homeway transitions to a complete volumetric modular builder, Rich’s passion for single family construction won and he along with his son Max founded Schieler Quality Builders.
Schieler Quality Builders focuses on new traditionally build home construction as well as modular, kitchen and basement remodels, home additions and exterior upgrades.
Rich and his son Max will continue to serve existing Homeway Homes owners as well as new clients that are looking to build new or improve an existing home.
About Rich Schieler
Rich Schieler began his career in construction at an early age. He worked for their father in the family construction business since the 1960's by sweeping floors at the construction sites at the age of 10. After a few summers of work his father told them to put on a tool belt and the rest is history. Rich was taught a good work ethic and the value of quality – principles which still drive Rich today.
After many years of constructing traditional site-built homes, Rich and his brothers were introduced to modular construction. They learned the many advantages of building in a controlled environment, the superior quality workmanship, like less reliance of subcontractors, the ability to control costs and a construction cycle that was almost twice the speed. The brothers realized they could triple their volume with modular construction while building high quality and high energy efficient homes. So in 1996 they transitioned their business from site-built construction to modular construction. The business grew threefold in nine years. In 2005 they decided to build their own modular Construction Facility called Homeway Homes. Since then Homeway Homes has built many homes, added Homeway Commercial, and are the largest custom home builder in downstate Illinois.
In January of 2023, Homeway Commercial assumed the full modular factory and Homeway Homes ceased single family modular construction. Rich Schieler and his son Max assumed the existing Homeway Homes homeowners and began Schieler Quality Builders as new traditionally build home construction as well as modular, kitchen and basement remodels, home additions and exterior upgrades.
