What Ruscilli Construction does

Ruscilli Construction Co., LLC. is a privately held, family and employee-owned full-service construction firm founded in 1945 and headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. The company delivers preconstruction services (cost estimation, CPM scheduling, Building Information Modeling, procurement, LEED documentation), construction services (general contracting, construction management at risk, design-build), and a dedicated Special Projects Group (SPG) that self-performs key trades including steel erection, rough and finish carpentry, concrete, and masonry. SPG mobilizes rapidly on projects ranging from $50K to $5M, averaging $500K, and completes more than 200 special projects annually. The firm serves 14 distinct market sectors including affordable/tax credit housing, healthcare, higher education, K-12 education, hospitality, industrial/manufacturing, market rate housing and mixed-use, office and commercial, recreational, retail, senior living, faith-based, civic and government, and technology and laboratory. Ruscilli operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion, with named projects including the $60M Rock City Church Polaris Campus, the $35M Poindexter Village revitalization, an $18M renovation of Wildwood Village Apartments, and a $14M Mount Carmel medical office building.

The business model is professional-services based, with revenue earned through project-based construction contracts priced by scope, complexity, and market conditions rather than published rate cards. Customer engagement is initiated via a formal Request a Proposal process on the company website and supported by a partnership with COMPASS, a SOC 2 Type 2-compliant platform that streamlines subcontractor prequalification. The firm maintains an employee-ownership structure intended to align incentives across craftspeople and project professionals, and reports an 80%+ repeat client rate for the Special Projects Group. Geographic operations are concentrated in Ohio with extended reach into Indiana, Kentucky, and Florida. Reported technology assets are conventional construction-IT tools — BIM, LEED documentation workflows, and Lean Construction principles — with multiple LEED Silver and standard certifications across senior living, healthcare, and residential projects.

Direct peers

• Pepper Construction: Midwest-headquartered (Chicago) full-service GC and construction manager with comparable vertical mix across healthcare, higher education, hospitality, senior living, and commercial — a strong regional peer given overlap in self-perform capabilities and enterprise client base.
• Gilbane Building Company: Family-owned, mid-to-large full-service construction manager with deep healthcare, education, and commercial portfolios across the Midwest and East Coast; competes directly with Ruscilli for institutional clients and similar project sizes.
• Walsh Construction: Chicago-based general contractor with strong Midwest and national presence in healthcare, education, hospitality, and multifamily — directly comparable in service offering and project-size band, with overlapping enterprise client base.
• Whiting-Turner Contracting Company: Mid-to-large employee-incentivized GC delivering commercial, healthcare, higher education, and senior living construction nationwide with strong Midwest activity; very comparable in self-perform emphasis, employee-ownership culture, and vertical mix.

• Skanska USA: Global construction and development firm with U.S. operations across healthcare, education, and commercial — competes with Ruscilli for larger institutional pursuits and brings deeper balance sheet capacity on megaprojects.
