Family owned civil construction and earthmoving company serving the Canterbury for over 73 years

25/10/2026

This Labour Day, we look back through the archives. Over 70 years in the game, and we’ve done it all around the South Island. Dozers, dump trucks, and yes, even transporting a whole house. Do you remember any of these?

19/10/2026

We’re not judging, but did you know we do all this? With over 70 years in Canterbury, there’s more to Taggart than you might think. Just a look through to see what our teams do, from Demolition, Civil Construction, Three Waters to our Landscape Supplies yard in Rangiora.

Whatever stage your project is at, we can help.

Which one did you know about?

This lineup has been shaping our new John’s Road subdivision project. The dozers, scrapers and grader have been moving earth to get the ground ready for what comes next.

This month's Core Value Photo of the Month Award goes to Alex and the crew at Kate Valley, captured during night work installing power ducts for the new wind farm. Digging over and between live services, it's a great example of "Accept the Challenge" in action. Nice bit of innovation too, using the ute lights to keep the work going.

What happens to concrete once a building comes down?

At Taggart, it doesn't go to landfill. It gets crushed, graded, and turned into AP80, ready to be used as a base course for hardstand, bulkfill and yards.

Take a closer look at how it's done, you can read more about our concrete processing here: https://taggart.net.nz/news/from-structure-to-site-the-lifecycle-of-concrete

Introducing our new Miners Road Quarry. The team has been on the ground for two months, extracting gravel and bringing in cleanfill to keep our projects across Canterbury moving.

Another demolition project completed, this time on Hanover Street in Dunedin for Foodstuffs South Island. The work involved the technical deconstruction of four-storey Oamaru House, which included carrying out overnight work to minimise disruption to the surrounding area.

Great to see our specialist demolition team continue bringing their skills to projects across the South Island.

What a night for the Taggart team! Last night at Terra Cat’s quiz night, our crew took out the top spot as 2026 Christchurch Champions.

A great excuse to get the team together, and even better to come home with the win. Thanks for a great night and for putting our general knowledge to the test. Already looking forward to defending the title next year.

We love seeing our team celebrated for their work and dedication to the construction industry. It was also a special night for Arnel, who was presented with a gift from Terra Cat to mark his retirement.
