About Marra

Our Story

Marra has been locally owned and operated in the Bay of Plenty for over 40 years and has grown to become one of the largest and most respected commercial builders in Tauranga and throughout the region.

Our site staff are employed by Marra, rather than contracted in, which allows us to have more control over the final outcome. This ability to maintain better control of our projects along with our commitment to excellence and competitive costings is why property developers and commercial building architects return to the team at Marra again and again.

Embracing all areas of commercial and industrial construction including development projects and design and build projects, our team brings a wealth of technical and practical knowledge and experience to each and every project.

Our portfolio, which includes some of the Bay’s largest construction projects, showcases our vast industry experience including retail, education, healthcare, community, residential developments and industrial buildings.

Testimonials

“We would like to commend your team on their hard work, professionalism and attitude towards providing the best product possible. Dean, Aaron and Andy were all a pleasure to deal with throughout the project and their dedication and willingness to help was noted at AMP and from the design consultants on the project. They have delivered a high-quality product that the co-owners of Bayfair are proud of.”

Rob Moon, AMP Capital Shopping Centres

“The Marra Project Team have been a pleasure to work with and through their professionalism, dedication and hard work have delivered a high-quality project on time and on budget. I highly recommend Marra as an excellent and reliable Main Building Contractor to Arrow International in Christchurch.”

Dylan Workman, Arrow International Ltd

“Financial and investment institution, AMP, identified the Bethlehem area as the next growth area in the Bay of Plenty and thus required a decent sized retail outlet development. They hired Marra Construction for the $15 million project.”

AMP New Zealand
