Taylor honored at 40th anniversary event

East Rochester, NY On May 22^nd, friends and family gathered with past and present employees to honor Richard Taylor, one of the original founders of R-J Taylor General Contractors (now doing business as TAYLOR – The Builders) a leading regional and national commercial general contractor. The private event featured an honorary display unveiling in the company’s main conference room, followed by a catered cocktail hour for Taylor to reminisce about past construction projects and generations of growth for the firm during its 40^th anniversary year.

The honorary display, which featured images of Taylor, his wife, family, and past projects, reads as follows:

“Established as R-J Taylor General Contractors in 1984, by leveraging long-term relationships, Taylor saw opportunity in design build where he could be an integral part of a team, helping projects move from concept through design and construction.

Taylor forged his own path to success through hard work, determination, and hands-on experience. Starting as a mason in Cleveland, Taylor established his own style of project management and leadership skills, with subsequent ownership on the horizon. More than that, Taylor showed how all people, owner, subcontractor, should be treated in a fair business relationship.

Today, because of Taylor’s vision and leadership, TAYLOR – The Builders has evolved with their clients, growing, and changing to meet their needs.”

Led by current president, Karl Schuler, and his team of builders, TAYLOR will continue to expand upon more than 40 years of knowledge, experience, and satisfied clients throughout its anniversary year in 2024 and beyond.

As Taylor once said to Schuler, “I felt confident we had the job once the steel was up…”, exciting new construction projects and developments will be announced once that specific milestone is met!
