Our vision
To help New Zealand thrive via a stable and trusted international building materials supply chain at the best price, and quality available.
Unrivalled Access & Value
- Over 8000 building material suppliers
- Exclusive buyer network
- Market leading choice
- Superior buying power
Importing building materials from China is nothing new. However, those who are resourceful or brave enough to deal directly with China, can quickly come unstuck if they’re not dealing with the right people, which can easily happen. While the allure of direct dealings with Chinese manufacturers exists, careful consideration and robust processes are necessary to mitigate risks and ensure consistent quality and delivery.
Our exclusive partnership with AUPUP, the procurement arm of Vanke Group, China’s largest real estate developer and Global Fortune 500 company, allows us direct access to an extensive network of over 8000 manufacturers of building materials.
This exclusive partnership enables us to extend unparalleled buying power, quality, and range to the New Zealand construction industry on a significant scale.
Quality Assurance
- China’s highest quality suppliers
- Integrated quality assurance
- Supplier pre-qualification program
Our partner Aupup, maintains a rigorous supplier pre-qualification program, evaluating aspects such as financial stability, brand reputation, quality management systems, after-sales service, R&D capabilities, and factory/production capacity. Regular monitoring and audits ensure adherence to these standards. Their Sky System oversees factory and product inspections, utilizing real-time CCTV, factory certification, and order tracking for comprehensive oversight.
Additionally, International Building Supplies engage a reputable international third-party quality inspection company to provide detailed inspection reports for all orders. These reports are reviewed by customers before goods are dispatched from the factory, ensuring transparency and quality assurance throughout the supply chain.
Benefiting from an extensive supplier network, many of our partners already export to key markets like Europe, the USA, and Australia, or serve as OEMs for recognised international brands. This familiarity with global quality expectations and adherence to international standards underscores our commitment to delivering excellence.

Our New Zealand-based team provides the expertise to navigate the complex network of relationships, trust, and personal connections that are fundamental to business dealings in China.
To maintain the highest standards of quality, we collaborate with a reputable third-party quality inspection company.
