Building materials in Auckland

“Easy parking. Often have very good specials. Easy to use the ‘buy on line’ computer as the goods we wanted were not in store. But it was couriered at no extra cost to our home address. Very pleasant and helpful staff.”

“The young woman on the counter went the extra mile in assisting me to find replacement fittings for a louvre window. We spoke to the product researcher in the office who said he’d look it up. It is very rare for that kind of personal service and I’m very grateful for her thoughtfulness, initiative and focus on customer service. Thank you!”

“Great yard... Has a huge range of everything you need. Staff are amazing, helpfull and knowledgeable. Highly recommend”

“I went here first for fence paint, but they ran out of the one I was looking for. So the staff at the paint department quickly found mitre 10 Mt Wellington who had the product. I salute to their professional and prompt service.”

“Levi the manager was amazing. He was patient and helpful and went out of his way to help us. Thank you”

“Bunnings Warehouse Manukau is an absolutely fantastic store and our go-to for anything related to home improvement. ​They truly have everything you need for any project, big or small, from gardening supplies to building materials and all the little bits in between. The sheer scale of the inventory means I never have to shop anywhere else. ​On top of the huge selection, the prices are consistently good, which is a huge plus when you're tackling multiple projects. ​Finally, the parking is so convenient. The large parking area makes it easy to find a spot and load up bulk items without any hassle. ​Highly recommended for all Manukau locals and anyone needing serious D.I.Y. supplies!”

“Heaps of nicely priced new and second hand tools. + They're open all the time...which is bang on brilliant!”

“Tam, you are a legend. We really liked our demo, presentation and communication. Great customer service overall. Our team is very happy with the tools. We'll be working faster, safer and better, and you helped us achieve that.”

“I wish to convey my thanks to the Albany branch staff for their professionalism and service they gave me last week for my delivery of scoria,dainage hose and stocking. They made this a easy process over the phone ,pricing delivery and charges as well as the puntuality of delivery. I do use landscape supplies always for this sort of products but as a private buyer only once or twice yearly.”

“Amanda was great to deal with. Prompt responses to emails, & my product is coming to me 2 weeks earlier than first stated (once I told her how urgent is was). I would recommend this company for great sales and after sales service, backed with a great product. Thanks Abodo!!”

“Good value building materials, great team, really helpful.”

“The best flooring supplier in NZ”

“I can’t speak highly enough of the team at PlaceMakers Waiheke. Time and again, the standout feature of this branch is the quality of the staff – knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping you get the job done properly. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a person rather than a transaction. The team take the time to understand what you’re actually trying to achieve, whether you’re a trade professional working to tight deadlines or a DIYer who needs a bit of guidance and reassurance. There’s no impatience, no talking down, and no sense that you’re “in the way” – just calm, practical advice delivered with real expertise. What really impresses me is how well the staff know their products. They don’t just point you towards an aisle; they explain options, flag potential issues before they become problems, and offer sensible alternatives when stock is limited (which, on an island, is sometimes unavoidable). That level of proactive thinking saves time, money, and frustration – and it’s something you don’t always find elsewhere. The service is also consistently friendly. Even when the store is busy, the team remain upbeat, polite, and efficient. You get the sense that they genuinely care about the local community and take pride in being a reliable backbone for Waiheke’s builders, tradies, and homeowners. Yes, it’s an island store and the range can’t match the mainland, but the staff more than make up for it. Their willingness to help source items, suggest workable solutions, and go the extra mile makes PlaceMakers Waiheke an essential part of getting anything built or fixed on the island. In short, this is a branch defined by its people. Excellent service, deep product knowledge, and a refreshingly human approach. Highly recommended.”

“Although there were some glitches in communication around what we thought we had purchased and what we received, the customer service we received was outstanding. Ajju worked with us to find solutions, always answering our calls with professionalism and a positive attitude. The team at the warehouse was equally helpful. We truly appreciated the support and attitude of everyone involved.”

“I must share my experience because one guy who is working in plumbing world and his name is Mr David. Today may 3rd time visit to the place and every time I preferred this guy because he just know what a customer need even I watch him to help other customer always a huge smile and even he know more then customers need and always suggest the best option in my case even as a non professional person he disagree with my choice and give me the best and economical solution which is in my opinion high class customer service so I must say first I think he is the manager of the branch because how he handle every customer it not a job of a salea man but as a employee I think plumbing world should be proud to have him with them best wishes to him and great job again”

“Very organised and neat store. It's not huge like the Mega10, which is good as well as I could find what I'm after very quickly. Visit now for the opening deals, there are quite a number of items on specials! The garden area is not big but very clean, worth a quick stroll. Pop into the cafe for food and drinks, it's great and deserves our support.”
