The People Who Guide Us.

Kristian Fields

President

I joined Klover because they are dedicated to being the best in the region at helping Owners, Developers and General Contractors overcome difficult technical challenges with innovative solutions.

Klover is one of the first companies to make a substantial investment in prefabrication. We provide complete design, manufacturing, and installation of prefabricated load bearing and exterior wall assemblies, miscellaneous metal fabrications, specialty framing assemblies, flooring systems, and modular units.

We remain builders at heart and perform marquee projects of all sizes with conventional methods. We are especially focused on projects that have a higher degree of complexity in framing, drywall, ceilings, and specialty finishes. Our broad range of markets includes Healthcare, Multi-Family Residential, Data Centers, Higher Education, K-12, Religious Institutions, and Retail.

This combination has made us experts at making sure that even the most innovatively designed projects pass the “Constructability Test” in the field every time. My job as President is to ensure that our team continues to be first to create what our customers need next.
