About
About Taylor Construction
Taylor Construction was founded in 2011 by Managing Director Damien Taylor. Since then we’ve grown into a team of 20+ employees focused on delivering high‑quality volume projects across the North Island. Our leadership and regional project managers bring decades of combined experience in programme management, consenting, technical delivery and on‑site construction. We partner with trusted consultants and subcontractors we’ve worked with on many successful projects to ensure seamless collaboration from concept to handover.
Strong leadership and partnerships
We’re supported by a high‑performing governance board and experienced management team who drive strategy, governance and continuous improvement. Our strong regional subcontractor network and trusted trade partners provide the capability and local knowledge needed to deliver projects on time and to standard.
Built on relationships
Relationships are at the heart of how we work — long‑term, repeat clients and durable industry partnerships are the foundation of our growth. We prioritise transparent communication, reliability and quality so clients come back to us project after project.
Our approach
We prioritise safety, build-ability and lasting quality. Our systems focus on robust planning, proactive risk management and continuous improvement so projects run to programme and budget while meeting our high standards of finish.
