Nau Mai, Haere Mai — Welcome to Whakamana Limited
At Whakamana Limited, we’re more than just builders — we’re a movement grounded in kaupapa Māori, driven by community, and committed to empowering whānau through housing, employment, and education.
As a proudly Māori and Pacifica-owned company, we deliver full-service construction and development solutions across Aotearoa — from civil works to turnkey homes. Through our wider Whakamana Group, we also offer home financing, scaffolding, workforce development, and vocational training pathways.
Whether you're a first-home buyer, landowner, community leader, or tradesperson — we’re here to build a better future, together. Every project we undertake is an opportunity to uplift people, restore pride, and create lasting change in the communities we serve.
Whakamana means to uplift — and that’s exactly what we do.
Our Mission
At Whakamana Limited, our mission is to build differently—creating tailored housing solutions that meet the real needs of our clients while empowering SME trades. We align opportunity with industry, driving practical outcomes for whānau, businesses, and communities across Aotearoa.
To build what’s missing—homes with purpose, trades with a future, and an industry that works for everyone.
