Since 1994, we have helped shape exceptional spaces across Australia, servicing six core divisions and building a formidable relationships-centric, safety-first reputation.  

On Thursday 4 November, we joined our Subcontractors at the annual Delivery Partner Celebration, hosted at the beautiful Le Montage in Lilyfield. Guests came together for a special evening focused on fostering mateship and celebrating recent project successes.  

Taylor’s ability to offer integrated design, construction and development services is made possible by our wonderful Subcontractors, who play an integral part in the successful delivery of our projects. 

In recognition of excellence in construction, Taylor unveiled the inaugural Delivery Partner Awards. Project Managers and General Managers across the organisation nominated Subcontractors who embodied the shared values of the Awards. Congratulations to all nominees and our winners:

Hosted by Taylor, and moderated by Elizabeth Mackison, Submissions Manager, this thoughtful event was an opportunity for NAWIC NSW’s work winning team members to come together and discuss career development, innovation, and future opportunities within the industry. 

Aurecon’s Irina Bagel, Portfolio Leader, joined Elizabeth for a fireside chat – sharing insights into how Australia’s ‘most innovative company’ has reimagined the way they approach winning work.

On Friday 28 October, eleven Taylor sites joined our incredible Subcontractors for hearty Hard Hat Day BBQ lunches – collectively raising $17,000 in support of the Property Industry Foundation.

Special guests including Sydney Harbour Federation Trust attendees and the Property Industry Foundation’s Kate Mills, CEO, joined Team Taylor at Sub Base Platypus. This impressive project is the next stage in the Harbour Trust’s plan to revitalise the historic landmark – the completed project will link the Torpedo Factory to the greater Sub Base Platypus site. This extraordinary site created a welcoming space for attendees to enjoy Lebanese-inspired cuisine curated by Moeco Plumbing, and beverages supplied by DECC. 

This impressive project offers an increasingly rare opportunity to occupy brand new, A-grade industrial and logistics facilities. Team Taylor is excited to deliver this precinct and build a partnership with such a prestigious new client.  

With a site area of over 40,000sqm, the project is split across the construction of two warehouses, in addition to two, two-level offices, awnings, pavement and carparking. 

Taylor will work closely with ESR Australia and key stakeholders to ensure the projects achieves the minimum targeted 5 Star Green Star rating. You can learn more about Taylor’s commitment to sustainability here.
