KD Construction is one of the big names in the construction arena, offering its expertise beyond Florida to Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Michigan, with plans for continued expansion. The company has emerged as a leading shell contractor in South Florida, reserving a distinguished position among the top five in the region and being nationally recognized for its steadfast commitment to excellence.
The company specializes in cast-in-place concrete, masonry structures, framing, and drywall packages. Its portfolio showcases various prosperous projects, including multi-family residential complexes, hotels, condominiums, retirement communities, workforce housing and student housing. At the heart of the company is Oliver VonTroll, the driving force behind KD Construction. He has transformed the company with his leadership, knowledge, and passion. One of his best qualities is bringing people together as a team and creating a familial work environment. His emotional restraint when making decisions has helped him make the right decision, even when difficult.
Founded by CEO Karl Davis, KD Construction’s success is attributed to the collective efforts of the exceptional team and the strategic integration of cutting-edge technology into their systems. As they collaborate with major developers and general contractors in Florida, their reputation for delivering projects on time and within budget has positioned KD Construction as the contractor of choice.
Oliver has over 30 years of experience in all aspects of construction, ranging from field supervision to operational management. As a licensed State Certified General Contractor, he is well-versed in commercial and residential projects, having successfully built multi-family apartment projects, condominium developments, and multi-million-dollar estate homes. His commitment to quality and attention to detail has earned him a reputation worthy of mention in numerous trade publications. Before joining KD Construction, Oliver owned and operated a successful development company, drywall and shell contracting company and has established a loyal following of customers. As President of KD Construction, his goal is to deliver a quality product and superior customer service.
Oliver guides the team and incorporates the latest technologies, such as Procore, Acumatica, Open Space, and Mobiclocks. This has enhanced productivity and efficiency in all departments, from the field to the corporate office. When asked who has been his inspiration that helped him grow into a pioneering leader, Oliver says it’s Karl.
For over 30 years Karl mentored Oliver, teaching him all phases of construction. Just as importantly, he also taught him the value of the dollar, the importance of hard work and the significance of having integrity. “For me success now is different. I gained monetary success at a young age and became increasingly more successful but true success to me is having reached professional achievement and then reaching out to help someone else achieve it themselves,” says Oliver. “God does not waste a lesson in life. It is all part of his plan.”
KD Construction’s mission is to respect and value every person that works for and with the company. “It is a team effort and no one person can do it alone,” adds Oliver, “This, along with hiring the best talent in the business and having a strong corporate structure helps KD to continue to improve and become the best in the business.” KD Construction emphasizes a culture where individuals are not seen as numbers and are valued as part of a more prominent family. This focus on personal connection is essential to how it functions and accentuates the importance of promoting a sense of belonging and support within the team.
The year 2025 looks to be exceptional for KD Construction, with many projects that will benefit communities and enhance people's lives. KD Construction recognizes the abundance of opportunities it has received and is dedicated to giving back to those in need. Positively affecting people’s lives is a core pillar of its values.
