Product Overview

Resido is New Zealand’s largest Build-to-Rent (BTR) development located in the Sylvia Park area of Mount Wellington, Auckland, offering 295 rental apartments across three buildings with communal amenities and professional management. Owned by Kiwi Property, the project features a focus on modern apartment living, sustainability with a 9-star Homestar rating, and integration with the local transport, retail, and hospitality options of the nearby Sylvia Park shopping centre.

The contract was secured by Naylor Love Construction and designed by i2C Architects in collaboration with Ashton Mitchell, who worked together to complete this modern rental property development.

As a preferred client, Naylor Love partnered with us to deliver both fire-rated and non-fire-rated doors — from close collaboration and detailed planning through to manufacturing and on-time delivery across the building.

Our Solution

Soteria Doors was involved early in the design phase to help ensure the architect’s vision could be achieved while still meeting all safety, protection, and compliance requirements.

Given the use of custom hardware and the need to preserve the design aesthetic, we recommended project specific fire testing to ensure compliance with NZ fire protection standards. By working closely with i2C Architects, Ashton Mitchell Architects and Naylor Love, we successfully carried out the testing process, confirming that the proposed door systems met both fire performance requirements and design expectations.

For a project of this scale, keeping to the construction programme and ensuring timely deliveries is essential. Through careful planning, clear communication, and close coordination with the project team, we delivered all doorsets on schedule—supporting the smooth and efficient progress of the overall build.

The Result

Soteria Doors supplied all fire-rated and non-fire-rated doorsets for the project, including seals to meet acoustic requirements, ensuring full compliance and confidence for the client.

Our tailored solution complemented the modern apartment style and clean, professional look of the development, while delivering the essential safety and performance standards required by the Building Code.

Testimonials

Our customers love what we do!

Read some of our reviews.

“Worked with Soteria Doors on the Hellman Development project, near the Auckland Airport and once again really enjoyed working with their team. During this project and others we have found Soteria Doors (formerly Doors n More) to be very co-operative and helpful working through all onsite issues. Have never had issues with them in regards to supplying on time as they are very pro-active.”

"We have used Soteria Doors on our recent project for CORT housing in Takanini, quality of their doors is high and service was excellent. We had eight raking double doors which are particularly complex and they turned out extremely well. Harvey and his team have been great to deal with and we are using them on several new projects which have just commenced."

“One issue we have as Quantity Surveyors are the quotes we receive. Often they have items missing, are not to a standard form and are hard to understand. Soteria Doors send us quotes that are accurate and easy to read, they include the entire scope of the project and are well set out making it so easy to understand, and adjust when required. I have always found Soteria Doors to be very professional and helpful in their approach, and would recommend them to other contractors.”

“We have been working with Soteria Doors for about 5 years now and are constantly impressed with their level of service and quality of product. The team all hold to the same values and work ethics which makes it an easy transition to and from personnel during each project. I always enjoy the cheesecakes that come too.”

“Accuracy, accountability and communication are key to making sure a project goes smoothly and finishes on time. On a project for Countdown in Papatoetoe, Soteria Doors delivered on all these qualities. I would recommend Soteria Doors not just as a subcontractor/supplier but also as a partner. ”

"We’ve dealt with Soteria Doors exclusively for our North Island projects for the past 10 years and they’ve been dedicated, efficiently and a pleasure to deal with. Easy communication and prompt problem solving sets them apart from their competitors in our view and we look forward to a positive future dealing with them."

"We choose to use Soteria Doors as a preferred supplier due to prompt delivery of a quality product. We enjoy working with their team as they have a positive nature and aspect of the construction industry."

“I have worked with Russel and the team at Soteria Doors for over 10 years, a family run business whose service and quality is second to none. With the tight timelines that we are governed by these guys are accurate, easy to work with and deliver on what they say, which is huge in this industry.”

Safari Group has a long standing relationship with Soteria Doors. Safari Group develops Hotels and apartments up and down NZ .A.G have delivered 400 Apartments and Hotel rooms with in the last quarter of 2019 . This involves a large amount of Doors and of course the planning and delivery of the doors is critical to S.G.

It was a great experience working with Soteria Doors on the Te Puea Marae project. Their team was professional, and the process was very straightforward. We look forward to collaborating with them again in the future.
