Infinity Garden Village, Derby
Infinity Garden Village is a mixed-use development scheme for 1,850 residential units including extensive on- and off-site highway infrastructure. Infinity Garden Village forms part of Derby’s long-term growth strategy. The scheme combines housing, employment land, and major infrastructure improvements, including new highways and drainage systems.
Our Role
Brookbanks’ involvement focused on de-risking the project and maximising land value through detailed technical and commercial input:
- Value Engineering Review
- Assessed existing engineering proposals for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Identified opportunities to reduce abnormal costs and streamline delivery.
- Highways & Access
- Reviewed proposed junctions and link roads.
- Ensured compliance with national standards while optimising layouts for cost and constructability.
- Drainage & Flood Mitigation
- Evaluated surface water strategies and flood risk measures.
- Recommended refinements to balance resilience with cost efficiency.
- Earthworks & Utilities
- Analysed cut/fill strategies to minimise material movement and disposal.
- Reviewed utility corridors and service strategies to avoid clashes and reduce diversions.
- Risk & Opportunity Analysis
- Summarised key engineering risks across highways, drainage, and utilities.
- Highlighted opportunities to increase land value through smarter design and phasing.
The Outcome
Cost Savings: Brookbanks’ review identified significant opportunities to reduce construction costs without compromising quality.
Land Value Uplift: Recommendations supported a stronger financial case for the client, improving scheme viability.
Risk Reduction: Early identification of engineering risks allowed proactive mitigation, reducing uncertainty for investors and stakeholders.
Strategic Alignment: Brookbanks’ work ensured the scheme aligned with wider infrastructure and growth strategies in Derby.
