About Us
Built by Brothers, Backed by Values
Our Story
It all began in 1979, when Noble Bardell and his brothers made a bold leap—transforming their modest trellis manufacturing operation into what would become a cornerstone of New Zealand’s building supply industry: Three Brothers. Born from the shared vision of supporting builders, tradies, and DIYers with quality materials and honest service, the Bardell brothers built their business on the foundations of integrity, hard work, and family values.
​
From those humble beginnings, Three Brothers has grown into a trusted name in the trade. Over 30 family members have worked across generations in the business, helping shape a company culture grounded in trust, reliability, and genuine care for customers. During this time, the Bardell family didn’t just supply products—they redefined the building supply experience, offering hands-on advice and service that quickly made Three Brothers a go-to destination for construction needs across Auckland and beyond.
​
Today, that legacy lives on. With over four decades of industry experience, we continue to serve New Zealand’s construction sector with a comprehensive and ever-expanding range of products—from framing timber and foundation gear to drainage systems and finishing materials. Our commitment remains the same: competitive prices, honest advice, fast delivery, and a handshake you can count on.
At Three Brothers, we’re more than just a supplier. We’re part of your building team—because that’s how family works.
