The East Coast yard
Tairāwhiti is a long way from everywhere by road, which is exactly why we hold stock on Awapuni Road. Local supply means local prices and delivery in days - no waiting on freight over the Waioeka Gorge.
Horticulture, forestry and the coast’s recovery-and-rebuild work keep this yard moving, alongside steady demand from the wineries and orchards on the flats.

Yes, and we would prefer you did. Our Awapuni Rd yard is open Monday to Friday with viewings by appointment - call ahead and we will have the grades you are considering ready to walk through.
For temporary storage during a build, generally not. For a permanent structure it can count toward site coverage, and anything habitable needs building consent. Rules vary by council, so for anything permanent check with your local one first.
