Who We Are

 

Doran’s History Rooted in Success

 

In 1896, the Doran family planted the seeds of an extremely successful contracting business. Through the decades Doran Construction prospered and grew under the expert tending of William Jr. and later under Hugh and Burke Doran. The firm put down solid roots with diverse and impressive projects including many schools and hospitals, the Air Terminal in Antigua and work on the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.

Over the years, Doran worked with an excavation contracting company – Taggart Construction – another family-owned operation. In 1983, the strengths of the two firms became permanently entwined when the Taggart Group purchased Doran. Today, Doran Contractors and Taggart Construction often work together on major projects. Their complementary skills allow them to fulfill every project need with the best possible construction experience.
