Hello Jason, I used to be a draftsman for 10 years. right now i am working on Rail way Maintenance and drawing houses is just a favour for some of my friends and people back in Tonga. They still get to ask me for House plans and maps and which they sometimes want me to quote the from bunnings and also asking if i can get them material lists from bunnings. Do i make sense?

Sorry @Inoke, I'm not sure the Trade team is going to be able to assist given we don't sell outside Australia and New Zealand. But perhaps you can visit your local store and have a chat to the team at the Trade desk and see if they can help.

Thank you for your reply Jason. The only reason these people requested if i can help get them the material list and quotes because they will come here and buy it from here. Its either that or they send their money to a relative or someone reliable here to do the shopping from Bunnings. They just need to know the material and the a rough estimate on material costing so they can get the fair amount of budget they should be having in terms of materials before they come to NZ. When I used to work in Tonga, our advice as a drafts man and project managing, we advice people to buy materials from here as it is way more cheaper than in Tonga. Especially Timbers, Roof Claddings, Steels and fixings

Hello @Inoke

Thanks for sharing your question regarding house materials. If you are after a quote, I recommend visiting a Bunnings store and speaking to the in-store trade specialist. You can explain to them your situation and and what your plans are for purchasing. It would be advantageous to you if you were to join the Bunnings Trade PowerPass program.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
