About Us

About

Edgar Taylor is a leading regional contractor based in Buckinghamshire.

We believe that the construction of award-winning design is dependent on collaboration between client, architect, contractors and suppliers. Alongside bricks and mortar, we build valued partnerships that result in the most effective methods, materials, supply chain and site management.

We confidently bring the best construction team to every project, because we actively nurture and develop talents and invest in continuous staff development. No matter what the scale or nature of the build, we champion excellence in the built environment.

As a trusted construction partner, our projects encompass purpose-built facilities and the development of heritage sites. With a clear understanding of the design aspirations and purpose of the building, we identify and address both opportunities and risks to realise the vision.

Our expertise and build quality have earned Edgar Taylor repeat custom and a reputation as the regional contractor of choice for all stakeholders.

 

A Trusted Construction Partner

For 30 years, Edgar Taylor has delivered exceptional service and specialist construction solutions for private and public clients. A proven track record and rich portfolio of projects have cemented our position as a trusted construction partner.

Our long-term vision ensures we are financially secure and we invest in the continuous development of our team. This perspective also influences our commitment to environmental management. As considerate builders, we aim to maximise social benefits, whilst minimising the environmental impact of construction.

 

Building Better Through Collaboration and Experience

Despite an expanding team, we have retained the ethos of a family business. As your construction partner, we will deliver service excellence alongside technical competency. You will benefit from our depth of experience and effective resource management, yet we remain approachable and considerate.

Each project is a finely tuned balance of quality and value. From tendering to after-care, we gain job satisfaction from applying our technical expertise and agile, innovative methodology to the logistical challenges that specialist builds present.

Our Values

We are a values-led chartered building company that works with integrity. We keep our promises and take pride in the completion of exceptional community, commercial and residential spaces.

Our core values from the basis of our company culture: they guide our decisions, inform our operations and define our purpose. With these cornerstones, we deliver exceptional results; buildings that look great, function effectively and enhance communities.
