The Brookbanks Difference / News / Meet Our Development Management Group

At Brookbanks, Development Management is more than just a service - it’s a commitment to transforming ideas into thriving, fully delivered developments. From the moment a concept is sketched on paper to the final stages of delivery, we’re there every step of the way.

A Holistic, Hands-On Approach

What sets Brookbanks apart is our unique blend of planning, engineering, commercial insight, and project delivery expertise. We don’t just advise from a distance – we roll up our sleeves and work alongside you, becoming an extension of your team.

Unlike many firms that step back once contracts are signed, our senior leaders remain actively involved throughout the project lifecycle. You won’t be handed off to junior staff – you’ll always have direct access to someone who knows your project inside and out. That’s what a true partnership looks like.

Driving Projects Forward with Purpose

Development management isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about keeping momentum, avoiding delays, and managing costs. We understand the commercial pressures our clients face – tight deadlines, stakeholder expectations, and the need for practical, timely solutions.

Because our senior team stays engaged, decisions are made quickly, problems are resolved before they escalate, and our clients always have a clear picture of where their project stands.

Case Study: Shefford New Town

Take Shefford New Town—a £1.5 billion development featuring:

  • 5,500 new homes
  • 80,000 m² of employment and retail space
  • 3 primary schools and 1 secondary school

Brookbanks leads this ambitious project as the consortium’s development partner, overseeing all non-housebuilding strategic delivery and managing the implementation of roads and infrastructure.

We’ve streamlined the planning and infrastructure process by challenging the outline planning permission—saving significant costs and enhancing the placemaking of Shefford’s new community.

The Glue Between Stakeholders

On complex, multi-developer schemes like Shefford, coordination is key. Different developers build at different paces, which affects infrastructure needs and timing. We manage these moving parts, ensuring service parcels are delivered when needed and work-in-progress is closely monitored.

This is what we do best: solving problems, adding value, and turning vision into reality.

The Brookbanks Difference

At Brookbanks, we pride ourselves on being more than consultants—we’re collaborators, problem-solvers, and partners. Our hands-on, senior-led approach ensures that every project we manage is delivered with precision, care, and a deep understanding of our clients’ goals.

That’s the Brookbanks difference.
