The brief

Mixed-use residential scale

JMS Engineers delivered structural design services for the Tayfen Road development in Bury St Edmunds - a mixed-use project comprising 171 one- and two-bedroom apartments across six buildings, along with a ground-floor commercial unit. The buildings, ranging from four to five storeys, required a structural solution that balanced efficiency with the architectural vision.

Engineering response

Panelised structure and site support

Providing on-site support, JMS integrated UnisystemLB load-bearing panels, streamlining the construction process and ensuring quality control. The ground-floor commercial space was designed with open-plan layouts, necessitating careful coordination of load paths and column placements to support the residential units above. JMS worked closely with the project team to ensure the structural integrity and performance of the development met all regulatory standards and client expectations.
