Mapa, Fou and George Photo: Tuipulotu family collection
The Building Brothers Construction company is a Tongan family affair.The three Tuipulotu brothers, Mapa, George and Fou started off labouring, but since qualifying as builders they've formed their own company and are now helping other young labourers to further their skills.
The company does a range of construction work, building houses, renovating and commercial construction.
The brothers are hoping to help to regenerate their home patch in the East Auckland suburb of Glen Innes.
Growth in the area is being overseen by the Tamaki Regeneration Company, which is jointly owned by the Government and the Auckland Council. Mapa and Fou Tuipulotu talk to Kathryn about how they're keen to be involved.
