Residential Engineering

Residential development is at the heart of RWO’s work. From pre-planning site appraisals to infrastructure design and structural foundations, our teams support housebuilders, developers and housing associations across the full development lifecycle — delivering practical, cost-effective engineering solutions on time and on budget.

Our experience includes civil and structural engineering for Vistry Group’s £80.6m Summerville Farm development in Stockton, civil engineering and structural design for Cameron Hall Homes at Wynyard Village near Stockton-on-Tees, structural foundation design for Bellway’s 120-home development on the former Weardale Steelworks site in Wolsingham, and civil and structural engineering for Story Homes on brownfield hospital land in Whickham.

“RWO is an important partner on these projects, adding value to our own operations with critical residential engineering insight, experience and expertise.” — Dave Knowles, Technical Manager, Cameron Hall Homes
