Residential infrastructure at every scale: from retrofit to high-rise
The residential sector encompasses high-density high-rise, build-to-rent (BTR), market and affordable housing, mixed-use developments, student accommodation and seniors living – each presenting distinct structural and regulatory requirements.
Success relies on balancing design complexity with cost, with structural efficiency directly affecting construction rates and development viability. Increasing regulation – including the Design and Building Practitioners Act in NSW – is raising delivery standards across the sector.
Matching housing to communities
SYSTRA delivers residential projects through structural engineering, with supporting civil, construction, façade, flooding, geotechnical, materials and sustainability capability. Delivery spans the full range of residential typologies, informed by a close understanding of residential financial models – balancing regulatory compliance with design and construction efficiency.
Value engineering and continuity through construction
BG&E, acquired by SYSTRA in 2025, brings project experience spanning high-rise residential towers, mixed-use precincts, heritage refurbishment and BTR across Australia, the United Kingdom and the Middle East.
