Here at Brookbanks, we have developed a series of value-driven and commercially-focused CPD events. The virtual sessions will arm you with expert advice on current and emerging policies, technologies and strategies which will put you ahead of the pack.

The CPD events cover a broad range of topics, some of which are listed below:

  • Technically-led Land Searching

    Sustainability and the Future Homes Standard
    Development Appraisals
    Unlocking Complex Development
    Adoption Strategies

These have proven to be a great success and we would love to extend the invitation to you! If you would like to book one or more sessions then please contact Lee Witts or email lee.witts@brookbanks.com

We would also love to hear ideas for future events, so if you have a suggestion for a topic you would like to hear more on then please do let us know!

Our article looks at how developers can respond to build cost volatility in a more informed and proportionate way. Drawing on our specialists' experience, it explores how early coordination, design‑led value engineering and integrated decision‑making can help manage cost risk, protect scheme viability and avoid short‑term measures that compromise long‑term quality and value.
