Building materials store in Auckland

“We've used Colin and Electrical Tool Services for a number of transaction and always had a good experience - Helpful service and prompt.”

“Amazing range of quality wood at great prices, I normally only buy a metre or two at a time and it's never a problem for staff to help select a piece for my requirements and cut it to length for me”

“Good wood & good oil with friendly customer service! Thanks”

“Have used Accurate for products before , but this time used their calibration service for my customer - Perfect service and communication from Andy , we were able to keep the customer updated and happy . Will be using again - thank you Andy”

“Popped into the store thinking I knew what to get but Chris took the time to discuss my project and identify a much cheaper and more suitable product for it. If I had gone along with my own plan I would have been short on product and could not have completed it with how much the costs would have blown out of budget. Extremely appreciative of the time and knowledge Chris provided, especially without making me feel bad for my obvious mistake. Excellent customer service. I will definitely be returning for further DIY projects and am happy to recommend others to do so too.”

“Had a mishap where I needed a pair of bolt cutters to get into a case. These guys not only helped me but also let us borrow a pair for free so I could enjoy the rest of my holiday in peace. Great work and customer service.”

“Excellent shop. Particularly the service and advice from Clare. I had a small problem and she sorted it out with no issues. Highly recommend.”

“Sales representative was brilliant in giving advise for my kitchen and bathroom renovations. He was about giving good customer service and not just wanting to sell.”

“My dad Ted Malin was a self employed Electrician and my dad got all his stuff from Cody’s he said the manager and the staff were absolutely fantastic my dad’s company was Elite Electrical my dad got on well with everyone then in 2017 my dad and I had to move to the uk but we always talk about Cody’s”

“The BBS team helped me out with a small order of cedar weatherboards for house repairs. Competitive pricing provided for this small order and quick delivery after final payment.”

“Just want to pass my thanks onto the guy who today helped me find an inexpensive solution to use my laptop for a monitor on my musicians Video Camera. We had a few technical challenges, but got it sorted using an HDMI Video Capture Dongle and a simple USB C to A plug. Everything works as it should and the connections are simple and tidy...I'm so pleased! Your staff member was very knowledgeable and patient...a credit to Jaycar New Lynn. Didnt get his name, but the docket says Operator N80933 approved by ASM....hopefully this will help you identify him to pass on my appreciation.”

“Sulco had the feeler gauge that I urgently needed. Drove all they way from Mt Albert. When I entered the shop I was greeted in a pleasant and polite manner. I had the item in my hands in about 15 minutes. Excellent service.”

“Called up today with an urgent order. Ana (Anna?) took the call - best customer service I’ve received in the industry was from this girl. She was very efficient + polite on the pick up - even while I noticed others in the office bickering at each other (one telling another to stop yelling) Haha”

“Helpful and had bulb in stock. Thankyou!”

“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.”

“Great range of products. Brilliant service and advice, thoroughly recommend Carters who were very happy to sell us just one length of garden edging and deliver it.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“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”
