Established as R-J Taylor, General Contractors in 1984, co-founder Richard Taylor saw opportunity in design build where he could be an integral part of a team, helping projects move from concept through design into construction.

As R-J Taylor grew, reputation allowed them to add multifamily housing, institutional work for non-profits, healthcare, and educational projects to its portfolio.
