McTaggart Construction

About The McTaggart Family

Scotland's Most Trusted Construction Partner

Founded in Dalry, Ayrshire in 1946, McTaggart Construction has grown steadily over eight decades into one of Scotland's most trusted construction partners. Still proudly family-owned, we work alongside housing associations and local authorities to design and deliver high-quality affordable homes across Central Scotland, homes that give people a foundation to build their lives on. Our strength comes from our people. We've built a team-centred culture with high staff loyalty, a strong apprenticeship programme, and a genuine commitment to developing the next generation of construction professionals.

Beyond the build, we invest in the communities we work in, creating jobs, supporting local supply chains, and delivering social value that lasts long after we've handed over the keys. Our reputation for quality and reliability has earned us a place on some of Scotland's most respected procurement frameworks, including SPA, Scotland Excel, Hub West Scotland, Hub South West Scotland, Link Group, and the Edinburgh Council New Build Housing Framework, giving our clients a straightforward, compliant route to working with us.
