Residential

Create works with private individuals, developers, housing associations and local authorities to deliver residential schemes of all scales across the UK. Our technical expertise and practical insight help unlock sites, manage risk and support planning, design and construction through every stage of development.

We have built long-standing relationships with national and regional housebuilders, student accommodation providers and land promoters. Our team understands the evolving needs of the residential sector – from overcoming land shortages and navigating local planning policy, to improving site viability and meeting sustainability requirements.

Our multidisciplinary services cover civil engineering, flood risk, transport planning, sustainability and infrastructure design. We support residential projects from early feasibility and masterplanning through detailed design and post-construction stages. From optimising layouts for access and drainage to advising on energy efficiency and green infrastructure, we deliver well-connected, resilient and desirable places to live.

We are mindful of the wider community impact of residential developments. That’s why we work closely with clients and design teams to reduce carbon emissions, maintain air quality and support long-term liveability – creating homes that meet today’s needs while addressing future challenges.

• Feasibility studies and masterplanning support
