Building materials in Auckland

“Went here on Sat Morn 18/5 and served by Phillip (name on Invoice). Fantastic service, first part supplied did not fit, but second option works brilliantly. He was happy to offer advice and pointed out what to do on one of the cistons in the showroom. Will definatly return if i need other plumbing supplies.”

“The service provided at the Resene branch in Silverdale is great. Staff are nice and helpful.Highly recommended”

“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.”

“Good service an best prices in town.”

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

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“I have changed over to my prescription meds pickup to Chemist Warehouse Silverdale recently as prices are way better and the stock is 5x larger than regular pharmacies. It is always busy there with plenty of helpful staff often stocking up shelves. Most know where stuff is.”

“Great tool shop. Huge range of Makita and Hitachi power tools. Lots of other accessories of the likes of drill bits, cutting discs,etc. They also offer repair and maintenance services at very reasonable prices”

“I have bought quite a number of items over the past few months off Jag whilst renovating our commercial premises which are located nearby. I can't express enough what incredible service I received. There were a couple of issues with items I bought which Jag immediately addressed and put right. He even fixed a faulty item for me that I had purchased from another business, when I went to buy a replacement product from him. As such I continued to buy goods from him as our renovation progressed because I knew I could trust him. I was in there so often we were on first name terms and I like that. He's a good guy, stands by his products and is a real asset to his company. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the business while Jag's at the helm!”

“Wonderful service and product ,sorry you are no longer going to be able to conduct business.”

“Always good experience with corys mt eden”

“Exceptional customer service! All staff were attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. It was a pleasant surprise and we will definitely shop there again. On a side note, the building is in need of air con!”

“These guys were really helpful and knowledgeable when I visited last week. There's also a great range of tools for the hard working tradies. Definitely shop here 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.”

“Great Company, Great People! I recently had the chance to meet Mark Gregory, the owner of GAF Roofing NZ, and he's just a great person. It was fantastic to connect with someone so dedicated to the industry. That same commitment is reflected in his company. GAF consistently provides high-quality service and products that we roofers here in New Zealand can trust. It's a pleasure doing business with a team that offers such reliable support. Highly recommended!”

“Gary leaded replaced Starke uPVC low-e double glazing windows for our home renovation. We’re very happy with their professional services. Gary is very knowledgeable, he knows his product well. Also, amazing communication throughout the process. Highly recommended.”
