Seniors Living & Aged Care

We engineer comfortable, future-ready living environments across seniors living and aged care. Our multidisciplinary team creates considered, welcoming spaces that maximise natural light, integrate intelligent building services, and support sustainable, long-term design outcomes.

Last Sector
Next Sector

We support projects across the full seniors living continuum, from independent retirement communities and land lease developments through to assisted living and residential aged care facilities. Our focus is delivering practical engineering solutions that balance resident wellbeing, operational efficiency and long-term asset performance.

These environments need to feel welcoming and connected while remaining robust, compliant and commercially viable. Our teams work closely with developers, operators, architects and contractors to achieve outcomes that work for residents, providers and communities alike.

Retirement living communities

Engineering support for vertical retirement villages, lifestyle communities and masterplanned land lease developments that prioritise comfort, accessibility and community connection.

Assisted living and aged care environments

Experience supporting purpose-built aged care facilities, supported accommodation and care-focused environments where safety, adaptability and operational performance are critical.

Sustainable, future-ready design

Practical sustainability outcomes, efficient servicing strategies and durable structural solutions that reduce lifecycle costs while supporting resident comfort.

Collaborative delivery

Strong coordination across design teams, operators and delivery partners to ensure projects move smoothly from concept through to completion.

This sector has given me opportunity to contribute back to the community and build relationships that have followed me through many roles and responsibilities. The connections we can create for people call me back to this work again and again.
