Scale indicators1 record

Broad incumbents

• Brickworks Limited: One of the two JV parents of NZBD and the owner of the Austral, San Selmo and La Paloma brick brands NZBD distributed. Comparable as the upstream Australasian brick manufacturer that now trades directly in New Zealand via Brickworks NZ Ltd following the NZBD dissolution.
• Bunnings NZ: Major NZ home improvement and building supplies retailer stocking bricks and masonry products. Comparable as a downstream retail channel competing for DIY and small-builder brick purchases that NZBD also targeted.
• CSR Limited: The other JV parent of NZBD and owner of the Monier brick brand in New Zealand. CSR is a diversified Australasian building products group whose building materials division supplied NZBD and now distributes independently via CSR Building Products NZ Limited.
• PlaceMakers: New Zealand's largest trade-focused building materials retailer, supplying bricks, timber and associated products to builders. Comparable as a competing channel for brick products and adjacent construction materials across the same NZ customer base.

Regional players

• ITM (Integrated Timber Marketing): New Zealand building supplies co-operative supplying trade and retail customers with construction materials including masonry products. Comparable as a regional trade-channel peer with overlapping product categories and NZ customer base.
• Firth Industries: Largest New Zealand manufacturer and supplier of concrete and masonry products. Comparable as a domestic supplier of brick-adjacent masonry (concrete blocks, masonry units) competing for share of NZ structural wall and hardscape spend.
• Carters NZ: NZ building supplies merchant serving trade customers with a broad range of construction materials including brick-related products. Comparable as a regional trade-channel peer competing for the same NZ builder/contractor wallet.
• Allied Concrete: New Zealand concrete and masonry supplier. Comparable as a regional supplier of brick and masonry-adjacent products into the same residential and commercial construction customers that NZBD served.

Direct peers

• PGH Bricks (Monier): New Zealand brick brand (formerly Monier) that NZBD distributed. PGH/Monier is a direct product-line peer, offering overlapping brick ranges to the same residential and commercial building customers in NZ.
• Austral Bricks: Premium clay brick brand that was a core NZBD product line. Directly comparable as a manufacturer of the same brick categories NZBD distributed, and now one of the brands competing for the same New Zealand customers post-NZBD dissolution.
