What Kline Rostocil Construction does

Kline Rostocil Construction Corporation, doing business as KRC Contractors, is a privately held commercial general contractor headquartered in Mentor, Ohio. Founded in 1980 by Larry Kline as Kline Construction Corporation, the firm evolved from a residential masonry subcontractor into a full-service commercial general contractor and is now led by Nathan Rostocil, who became President and Owner in 2026 following a decade-long succession plan. The company is nationally recognized for veterinary and animal care facility construction, a specialty it has built since completing its first veterinary hospital project in 1997 and reinforced through the Vetcon, Inc. joint venture formed in 2000.

KRC's service portfolio is structured around three core delivery lines: pre-construction services (budget development, constructability review, scheduling, value engineering), design-build services, and traditional general contracting. These are delivered across six commercial verticals — veterinary and animal care (primary), dental and specialty medical, restaurant and hospitality, general commercial and corporate, industrial and manufacturing, and education and childcare. The firm is licensed to operate in 30+ U.S. states, supporting regional and national multi-site rollout programs for clients in healthcare and adjacent sectors. Named projects include a 30,000 SF veterinary hospital in Highland Heights, Ohio; a 3,864 SF dental surgical center in Mentor, Ohio; and a 3,000 SF restaurant in Aurora, Ohio.

The company operates a traditional project-based revenue model under fixed-price or cost-plus contracts, with revenue generated on a one-time basis per project rather than through recurring subscriptions. Pricing is quote-based and scope-specific. Marketing and customer acquisition are primarily relationship-driven, relying on direct consultation, the company website intake forms, and industry network referrals through partners such as The Blue Book Construction Network and Dodge Construction Network. The company reports cumulative metrics of $250M+ in completed project value, 500+ projects delivered, and a 98% client retention rate across more than 45 years of operation.
