Chris-Tel Construction is a lo-

cally owned and operated con-

struction management firm

with a longstanding reputation

for quality and reliability. Based

in Fort Myers, Florida, the com-

pany’s roots in their commu-

nity go back almost 100 years.

That history is reflected by the

long-term relationships they

have built with both clients and

subcontractors, and by their ex-

tensive portfolio of large-scale,

award-winning projects.

“We’re committed to our com-

munity,” says Howard L. Wheel-

er II, President and owner of the

company. “We have built long-

standing relationships with cli-

ents, contractors, and local of-

ficials. We work here, live here,

and we’re raising families here.

We are building more than

buildings.”

Howard founded Chris-Tel Con-

struction in 1989. Two years

later, Donnie Singleton joined

the firm as a partner. Both were

already veterans of the con-

struction industry, and both

had grown up in Fort Myers.

Howard’s family in particular

had deep roots in the busi-

ness, dating back to 1924, when

Howard’s great uncle formed a

building company that would al-

ternately be known as Howard

L. Wheeler Construction and

Wheeler Brothers Construction.

Both Howard and Donnie are

fourth generation Floridians,

and grew up in and around

construction. When Howard

decided to form his own firm

at the age of 21, there was no

question where he would do it.

He wanted to continue what his

family had started back in the

1920s.
