Celebrating New Homes Week

Brookbanks has been supporting New Homes Week in association with The Home Builders Federation.

Key principles underpinning this are:

Energy efficient homes: how new build homes are saving consumers money on their energy bills
Built for now: New build homes are built to modern standards, saving consumers time and money on costly upgrade works
Confidence in costs: Raising awareness of the buying schemes and incentives are available to help consumers buy their new home

At Brookbanks, we are proud to help our clients deliver New Homes to the highest standard by both meeting and exceeding expectations and legislation across all of our teams. Our in-house specialists are able to take development from Outline Planning stage, to design, to Cost and Commercial Management, right through to Onsite Delivery and Occupation!

Brookbanks Podcast #19: Life Cycle & Upfront Costs

June 18, 2026

As the long-term sustainability and operational efficiency of developments come under greater scrutiny, the balance between initial capital outlay and long-term expenditure is playing an increasingly important role in successful project delivery. In our latest podcast, “Life Cycle & Upfront Costs,” Ben Wakeling is joined by Gerrad Mukuyu to explore how these two critical aspects of project budgeting interact in practice.
