Things change on site. Ground can be tricky, the weather moves in, access gets tighter and timeframes shift. When that happens, having an experienced team on the job makes a real difference.

At Taggart, we’ve spent more than 70 years working across Canterbury’s subdivisions, infrastructure projects, demolition sites and large-scale earthworks.

Taggart has been part of Canterbury for generations. Over the years, the machinery, projects and technology have changed, but the people behind the work have always been what drives the business forward.
From operators and drivers through to project teams, mechanics, labourers and office staff, every part of Taggart is built on hardworking locals who take real pride in what they do.

Managing large civil construction projects can quickly become complicated when multiple contractors are involved. Different teams. Different timelines. More site management. More risk.
At Taggart, we make that easier by taking care of the civil construction and demolition work ourselves on projects across the South Island.

One of the questions we’ve seen more often recently is what happens to the material that leaves our sites.
Do we reuse it? Recycle it? Or does it all end up in landfill?
The reality is, civil construction generates a huge amount of material.
