# Residential

## 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 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.

## key projects

BG&E, acquired by SYSTRA in 2025, brings project experience spanning high-rise
residential towers, mixed-use precincts, heritage refurbishment and BTR across

mixed-use development programme in Perth; and _The Bermondsey Project_ in
London, a large-scale build-to-rent scheme combining the renovation of historic
buildings with new-build construction.
