now has over 200 employees designing and building floor truss

Joseph Wiley, the founder and chairman of Wiley Construction, not
only wanted to build superior roofing systems, he also envisioned the
idea of prepackaging an entire house. The package of materials, from
foundation blocks to roofing shingles, would be available through one
source. This idea soon led for a custom-designed line of homes, called
Wiley Homes. The key selling point to these “prepackaged” homes
besides convenience and accuracy, was that, while the interior layout

The exemplary reputation of the Wiley Home program as well as
attention to customer service, prompt delivery times, and accurate
product specifications allowed Wiley to become an international
supplier of quality building products. Their products have been
shipped to dozens of countries, including Russia, Germany, Spain,
Japan, Korea, China, Greece, Turkey, Mexico, and Chile.
Gary Cox replaced Joe Wiley as president of Wiley Construction in

Science, Accounting, Business, International Relations, Computer
Science, Architectural Technology, and Biological Systems
Engineering.
