Brookbanks welcome Reuby & Stagg to our team! An exciting move to deliver Structural Services for our clients...

In August 2023, Brookbanks completed the purchase of Reuby and Stagg, a prestigious Structural and Civil Engineering Consultancy! This is a huge milestone for Brookbanks, and an opportunity to enhance the holistic services and value we add for our clients and their projects. Reuby & Stagg founder, Malcolm Reuby, and lead directors Chris Vivian and Mike Dewson remain in their current roles with the business.

REUBY & STAGG (a Brookbanks company) has been delivering world class Structural and Civil Engineering solutions across the UK for over 40 years, pushing the boundaries to meet the project vision for their clients.

The business has a great reputation of leading the designs on a variety of prestigious buildings, including the Americas Cup Building together with high-rise residential, commercial, industrial and regeneration projects in central London and other major cities across the UK. Reuby & Stagg has a very similar approach to Brookbanks in that they drive value and push the boundaries on their clients’ projects. Their culture and approach to client service aligns extremely well with our own and was one of the key drivers in our attraction to them.

The team has established an industry wide reputation for providing lean and cost-effective structural engineering designs. We look forward to sharing this expertise with all our clients and enhancing the Brookbanks services and skills further.

In September 2023, Brookbanks headed down to our new office location in the South to meet the new team and share our vision going forward.

We can’t wait to watch our teams deliver great outcomes for all of our clients!

Delivering Education Infrastructure: Direct Delivery or Section 106 Contributions?

May 22, 2026

Education facilities play a vital role in shaping successful residential communities. Alongside providing essential school places for growing populations, they help create well-connected neighbourhoods, support long-term community wellbeing and contribute positively to placemaking outcomes. For developers bringing forward significant housing schemes, deciding how education infrastructure obligations should be delivered is rarely straightforward. In most cases, this involves either directly delivering a new education facility as part of the development, or making a financial contribution through a Section 106 Agreement to support provision elsewhere. Each approach carries implications for cost, programme, planning strategy and the long-term success of the development.
