    Our Story

    Tamarack Homes | A Legacy Built to Last
    Tamarack Homes was born from a simple but powerful belief: that every family deserves a well-built home in a strong, connected community.

    We pair decades of expertise with modern innovation to create high-performance homes that are thoughtfully designed, sustainably built, and crafted to enhance everyday living. Our mission is to build exceptional homes and thriving communities where quality, sustainability, and customer excellence come together. From industry-leading ENERGY STAR® construction to personalized homeowner care, we aim to exceed expectations at every step, helping families grow, connect, and create lasting memories for generations.

    Our Legacy

    In 1948, Harold Taggart began transforming streets in the Glebe and Ottawa’s west end into homes for returning war veterans. With a commitment to craftsmanship, community, and integrity, Harold set a new standard for homebuilding excellence, one that endures to this day.

    Over the decades, his family built upon that foundation, forming the Taggart Group of Companies including Tamarack Homes, Taggart Construction, Taggart Realty Management, Doran Contractors, and Tartan Homes.

    Today, every Tamarack home reflects the dedication, innovation, and care that have defined the family’s legacy for more than 75 years.

    Our Mission

    To build exceptional homes and thriving communities where quality, sustainability, and customer excellence come together. Recognized for excellence in craftsmanship, innovation in sustainable building practices, and a deep-rooted commitment to community, we strive to exceed expectations at every step, crafting spaces where families can grow, connect, and create lasting memories for generations to come.

After recognizing an opportunity in servicing the land for new home construction, Harold decided to start a construction company specializing in infrastructure. He founded Taggart Construction in 1948, it flourished and provided the momentum needed for the continued growth of the Taggart Group of Companies.
