The band was formed by Glenn Michael Wallis from his previous band Heute, a krautrock-influenced trio.[1] 1990s members were Glenn Michael Wallis, Mark Crumby, Lawrence Burton, Joseph Ahmed, and R. Alcapone Shiells.

Glenn Michael Wallis worked as musician on early releases by Whitehouse, he worked solo under the name of Vagina Dentata Organ with permission by Jordi Valls, and he was member of the band projects Dark Union, Heute, The Murray Fontana Orchestra as a side-project of Hafler Trio.

Mark Crumby was member of the bands Ghost Actor, Mitra Mitra, Oppenheimer MKII, and Statik.

Early associations between the band and the likes of Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey cemented them as a member of the early industrial music scene, but did little for their success. Musically, Konstruktivits ranged across a spectrum of styles from noise to ambient to more beat-driven music. After a short hiatus in the late eighties, the album Forbidden introduced a more accessible sound in the tracks "Tic, Tac, Toe," "Hurts So Good," and "She Loves It."[2]

In 2000, Wallis changed the band's name to Konstruktivist, with the spelling Konstruktivists also being used. During the last years Wallis and Crumby run Konstruktivists as a duo.
