Our New Whare

our DREAM whare

Welcome to the story and partnership of TW Group and Mamia. We celebrate the journey of our hononga and the progress of our TW Mamia whare. A dream is coming true one pile, nail and truss at a time.

This isn't just any build - it's koha-aroha founded on shared values to support tamariki, māmā and whānau in our community. Something hoped for and needed is being 'built-to-life' through the generosity of the incredible team at TW Group.

They're builders with big hearts and skilled hands - all trades, no fuss, and loads of kindness.

Their philanthropic spirit and belief in our kaupapa has turned our vision into something tangible, beautiful and real.

We mihi to our marae, Waipatu, for the opportunity to be on our whenua and papakāinga. To all of the sponsors, donors and suppliers, we are tremendously grateful.

We've created this little corner of our website to share the magic as it unfolds - with photos updates, laughs, and (gulp) a few happy tears along the way. Whether you're whānau, a curious supporter, or just love a good story, we invite you to follow along, celebrate with us, and watch this dream rise from the whenua.

Ngā mihi nui TW Group and all of our sponsors - your mahi is forever a part of our story.

Let the journey begin - one joyful update at a time.

The foundation of something beautiful

The piles are in!

These strong, steady foundations are ready for creating and holding many memories.

Big mihi to TW Group - for laying the groundwork with care, precision, and aroha (and lots of pummeling!)

Every post and plank, a pathway forward.

Builders with heart: meet tw group

At Mamia, we believe the magic of any build lies not only in the brick and mortar,

but in the hands and hearts that shape it.

TW Group aren’t just builders — they’re listeners, problem-solvers, and champion our commitment to the wellbeing of tamariki, māmā and whānau. To supporting community.

From day one, TW Group embraced our vision. They put drawing plans to our concept and partnered to lay the foundations of something truly special for mokopuna - our future.

Mamia is one piece of their story.

Check out their website to see more of their incredible mahi.

BEARERS DOWN, BUILD MOVING FORWARD

A big shoutout to the TW Group crew - the bearers are now in place and the foundation is well underway.

It's not always the most visible part of the build, but it's one of the most important. This solid base will hold everything that's to come.

PSHT... FRAMES ON SITE, OVER

Progress update: the frames have arrived and are now on site - stacked and ready to go.

It's a solid next step in the build, thanks to the steady mahi of the TW Group crew. Each piece is prepped and will soon be lifted into place.

Exciting times seeing it all come together bit by bit, stage by stage.

and we can feel it.

CLADDING UP - AND MOVING FAST!

We’re getting whiplash (the good kind!) with how quickly things are moving on site. The cladding is now on, and the whare is looking more like home every day.

Big aroha to the TW Group crew!

Their dedication to this kaupapa has been next level.

Rain or shine, after hours or on weekends, they keep showing up and getting it done. We see it, we feel it, and we’re so grateful.
