A ‘know-how can do’ attitude has made PlaceMakers the premier supplier of building materials to New Zealand’s commercial and residential construction markets.
PlaceMakers sell a wide range of building products used in all aspects of building, maintenance, and home improvement at 62 locations throughout New Zealand.
PlaceMakers focuses predominantly on the trade market, but also services the project driven "Do It Yourself" (DIY) market. The majority of PlaceMakers branches are run as joint venture franchises with local branch operators.
PlaceMakers also manufactures wall frames, roof trusses and structural components at 15 frame and truss operations strategically placed to support local branches.
PlaceMakers is proud of its heritage as a supplier to the New Zealand building trade since 1954. The PlaceMakers Joint Venture franchise enables commercially savvy individuals to go into business with New Zealand's largest building materials manufacturer and distributor, Fletcher Building.
It's a business model that offers the right kinds of people an exciting business ownership and leadership opportunity.
Our Operators enjoy support from Fletcher Distribution Limited in numerous areas including marketing, brand development, merchandising and promotions, supplier negotiation, product ranging, store layouts, finance and reporting, taxation, legal, human resources and employment relations, health and safety, staff training, IT and business systems support.
