About Reside Projects Limited

Our Heritage & Foundations

Incorporated on 17 March 1997, RESIDE PROJECTS LIMITED (Company No. 848246, NZBN: 9429038134890) was founded in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, with a singular mission: to deliver uncompromising quality, architectural clarity, and statutory integrity in residential house construction and structural alterations.

Over almost three decades of continuous practice, the New Zealand residential landscape has evolved through major legislative milestones—including the introduction of the Building Act 2004, the Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP) scheme, updated seismic codes, and the recent H1 Energy Efficiency revisions. Through every transition, Reside Projects Limited has remained at the forefront of technical excellence.

Governance & Directorship

The company is guided by its founding directors, Colin Eon Bertram and Christine Mary Bertram, whose hands-on leadership and deep knowledge of New Zealand timber-framed building practices (NZS 3604) set the standard for every project.

Our client advisory and project operations are coordinated by Arianna Massimo (Lead Project Coordinator), ensuring seamless communication between homeowners, registered architects, structural engineers, and local building authorities.

Our Professional Philosophy

We operate under three non-negotiable principles:

• Statutory Rigor: We do not cut corners with council regulations. Every recommendation is fully aligned with the New Zealand Building Code and local district plans.
• Evidence-Based Engineering: We believe in transparent structural documentation, proper bracing calculations, and durable weather-tight envelope design.
• Client Equity Protection: Renovations and alterations represent substantial capital investments. Our independent advisory safeguards your budget against unforeseen variations and poor subcontractor workmanship.
