In light of the ongoing situation in Ukraine, the Taggart Group of Companies has donated $100,000 through the Taggart Parkes Foundation to the Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. We are deeply saddened by the events unfolding and our thoughts are with the many people seriously affected by the violence that continues.

The Taggart Group of Companies is pleased to announce that on September 1st, 2021, they acquired Tartan Homes. The Taggart Group and Tartan have a long-standing history and partnership, and together have built some of Ottawa’s most well-known subdivisions. As distinct and reputable home builders in Ottawa, the companies hold similar values and principles. The synergies between the two companies will drive value for employees, homeowners, and communities alike.
The acquisition of Tartan Homes includes their land, design centre, and current project sites, as well as welcoming Tartan’s employees to the Taggart team. Tartan will continue to operate as a separate entity under the umbrella of the Taggart Group of Companies. Through this acquisition, both Tamarack and Tartan will be able to accelerate their strategic growth plans, while continuing to deliver some of the highest quality homes in the National Capital Region.
There will be no change to any of the operations at Tartan Homes. All Agreements of Purchase and Sale with current and future Tartan customers, and all contracts and related obligations with subcontractors and strategic partners will remain in place.

Presidents, Tamarack Homes
At Tamarack Homes, we are committed to providing a safe, productive, and healthy working environment for our employees, contractors, clients, and guests. Everyone has the right to feel safe at work, and that includes our customer service, sales, design, administrative, and construction staff. While we recognize that going through the process of purchasing a new home can be stressful, we want our customers to know that our team is here to help. Our goal is to build healthy, collaborative relationships between our customers and our service staff, so that any issues can be resolved as quickly as possible, and our customers can have peace of mind when it comes to their new home.
We recognize and appreciate that over the course of the construction process, there may be delays and other issues that impact the customer’s experience. Our team of employees are ready and willing to assist our customers through this process. However, in no instance is it appropriate for a customer to verbally or physically harass, bully, swear at, or threaten any staff member. This includes interactions that occur in person, over the phone, and online/via email.
For further clarity, verbal and/or physical harassment/bullying is defined as:
Disruptive behaviour that is not appropriate to the work environment (e.g., yelling, swearing).
Any threat, behaviour or action which is interpreted to carry the potential to harm or endanger the safety of others, result in an act of aggression, or destroy or damage property.
Physical acts (e.g., hitting, shoving, pushing, kicking, sexual assault).
In cases where inappropriate behaviour, harassment or bullying takes place, the staff member will ask the individual to stop the behaviour so that a productive conversation can occur. Sometimes, this may involve scheduling another interaction at a later date to allow time for both parties to further consider the issue. If the behaviour continues, the staff member will escalate the issue to the Customer Service Manager, who will further escalate the issue to senior management if needed. These issues are taken seriously, and Tamarack is committed to providing excellent customer service while ensuring that our employees feel safe and are protected from undue harm while at work. In extreme cases, Tamarack will not hesitate to involve the police if such action is deemed necessary.
Please note that all customer service requests must be placed on the phone or via email. No in-person visits are accepted at any Tamarack location, unless previously scheduled and agreed upon.
