Custom Aluminium Windows & Doors for Hawera Multi-residential

Collaboration with Cambie Architectural Design & RP Builders

The Wilson Street Development in Hāwera, designed by Cambie Architectural Design and built by RP Builders, required a joinery partner who could bring precision, clear communication, and attention to detail from start to finish.

UNO Windows & Doors partnered with the developer from the early design stages through to completion ensuring seamless coordination, accurate manufacturing, and a consistent finish across all homes.

This development also marks the 20th anniversary of collaboration between RP Builders and UNO, a testament of our commitment to delivering optimised end-to-end solutions and value to our trusted partners.

Designed to Spec

The project included 78 window and door units across four homes. With a mix of standard and configuredured raking windows, UNO was involved in the early design stages to ensure quality across each property.

The challenges:

Precise measuring: To ensure perfect alignment with the architectural design, precise measurement would be needed to guarantee accurate dimensions and fabrication, eliminating the margin for error that often leads to rework or delays.
Timely build schedule: Due to the configured window units, a solution would be required to ensure that the installation would not add any delays to the build schedule.
Enhanced living: The development’s unique design would require a cost-effective thermal solution to improve living comfort and occupant wellbeing.

How Low E glass enhances living comfort for Multi-residential developments

UNO supplied a specialist to capture the exact measurements required for the raking windows and ensure that the unique fixtures would be manufactured to fit the architectural design.
Organised Unit Labelling allowed the builders to install efficiently and with confidence, each window and door unit was clearly labelled to match the building plans minimising delays.
UNO’s Non-Thermal suite, combined with Low E Lightbridge Double Glazing, provided a cost-effective and high-quality joinery solution improving energy performance and comfort while maintaining natural light and clarity throughout the homes.

UNO’s involvement from the design phase through to site coordination ensured a smooth installation process, consistent quality, and reliable delivery timelines, aligning perfectly with RP Builders’ schedule.
