The Brookbanks Difference

Our difference is our people and the way we work: one connected team of technical, commercial and delivery specialists, led by a single Project Director who stays with you from first appraisal to final completion.

Since 1997 we have helped landowners, developers, housebuilders and public bodies turn complex sites into places people want to live, work and learn.

Clients choose us because we combine Project Consultancy and Development Partner services under one roof. Planning, engineering, environmental, cost and project management specialists work side by side, so advice is joined up, decisions are made earlier and value is protected at every stage.

What Makes Us Different

One Connected Team

There are no silos and no outsourcing. Our planners, engineers, environmental specialists, cost consultants and project managers sit in the same business, share the same goals and talk to each other every day. That means fewer gaps between disciplines, faster answers and advice that holds together across the whole scheme.

Our Development Management Team

A Single Point of Contact

Every project has a Project Director who is your main point of contact. They lead our internal experts on your behalf, keep the programme on track and make sure nothing falls between disciplines. You get clear, honest and direct communication, and one person accountable for the result.

Development Management

Value Built In

We look for cost savings and value from the first appraisal, not after costs have escalated. Our engineers and cost consultants challenge designs, test alternatives and bring forward value engineering ideas that reduce abnormal costs, protect plot numbers and improve viability, while keeping the scheme deliverable and compliant.

Project Consultant and Development Partner

We can join your team for a single specialist task, or lead the whole development as your Development Partner. As Project Consultants, we act as an extension of your team. As Development Partner, we put the plan in place, coordinate every party and drive the scheme to delivery. Many clients use us in both roles over the life of a site.

Our Track Record

Each year our teams:
  • Work on around 17,000 acres of land

Successfully negotiated and got storm water signed off for 2,700 homes with no comments received from the Environment Agency or LLFA. An amazing result, and a record getting LLFA sign-off in 11 days post submission.

Proactive, and delivered a really thorough cost plan and financial appraisal within the timescales set by us, which were very tight, and to a really high standard, which exceeds that of other external cost consultants.

A number of value engineering proposals were accepted by the county council, allowing build costs to be reduced. Their ability to meet our design brief and understand our goals on such a critical site is appreciated.
