Building a Home Means Investing In the People Around Us

Building a Home Means Investing In the People Around Us

We have always believed that building a home means more than putting up four walls. It means investing in the people and places around us - creating belonging, supporting growth, and making a genuine difference to the communities we serve.

Our responsibility to Scotland's communities is not something we report on once a year. It is woven into how we work, day to day. We prioritise local employment and apprenticeships, partner with local suppliers wherever we can, and work with community organisations to deliver social value that goes well beyond the contract.

How We're Taking Action

We prioritise local supply chains on every project

By prioritising local supply chains on every project, we keep spending within the community, reduce transport emissions, and build long-term relationships with businesses that share our values. On a recent project in Prestwick, South Ayrshire, 80% of our subcontractors were local, another project in Renfrewshire, the majority of our supply chain partners were located within a 5-20 mile radius of site.

Active engagement in STEM

We engage actively across Scotland in STEM events and career open days, promoting the full range of jobs available in construction and supporting the development of the skills our industry needs to reach net zero. We believe that the workers of tomorrow are learning today, and we want to be part of that.

Reporting on community benefits

We measure everything we give back, because we know that lasting impact matters just as much as a quality build. Community benefit reporting is included in all our client updates, with our social value tracker recording employment, apprenticeships, supply chain spend, charitable donations and community engagement milestones on every project.

Our Projects

Building For a Better Tomorrow

Our work expands across the east and south, with ambitions to deliver more modern projects. We're built on integrity but always focused on community.

What Our Clients Say

Proven to Last, Trusted to Deliver

It was a difficult site to manage with the tenants who would finally occupy the new houses living on the perimeter of the site. The site staff were exemplary in building relationships with the tenants. McTaggart offered a transparent and collaborative approach throughout the project. We have already instructed McTaggart to deliver our phase 2 - this is the best testimony.

Dawn Conner

The quality of this development is exceptional. I have never seen affordable housing having such a significant impact on residents.

Phil McNeil

Housing Manager

Always had a positive approach to developing and delivering affordable housing projects. All staff I’ve worked with have been very personable and easy to work with. Always felt they take on board what were trying to achieve.

Graeme Gemmel

Home Group Scotland

From the start of a project to completion communication is always above and beyond. They listen to their client and have a great understanding of what is needed and deliver to the highest levels. The project teams are always available.

Laura Penman

South Ayrshire Council

We have had a long standing relationship working with McTaggart and this has always been a successful partnership delivering on a variety of complex mixed tenure sites. We find the people very approachable.
