Unlike a traditional project management consultancy, we are a development business. We deliver every project as our client’s Partner in Development.
Development projects bring together many stakeholders, technical disciplines, statutory bodies and delivery partners. Our specialists act as the central point of coordination between clients, consultants, contractors, utility providers, local authorities and regulators. They set up clear governance, monitor progress against programme and budget, and manage key risks. 95% of our people have worked for housebuilders, consultancies or on the client side, so we manage delivery with a developer’s commercial understanding. Our in-house planning, engineering, environmental and commercial specialists work alongside our project managers, so we resolve issues quickly within one team. Our land and development strategy specialists help clients set the right development approach, and our delivery team makes sure it is carried through to completion. Since January 2025, this approach has delivered over £25 million in savings for our clients.
Why Choose Brookbanks for Project Delivery & Management
The value we provide comes from creating confidence in delivery. By keeping a clear focus on programme, quality, cost and stakeholder coordination, we help clients minimise delays, overcome delivery challenges and move projects efficiently from planning approval to successful completion.
Our delivery specialists draw directly on our in-house planning, engineering, environmental and commercial expertise, so issues do not need to be passed between separate consultants. This gives continuity from strategy and design through to implementation, and allows decisions to be made with a clear understanding of their wider implications for the project.

Specialist Services
Project Management
Our project management specialists think like developers, because that is what we are. We test every decision against the scheme’s value and the client’s business plan, and we challenge costs and look for savings at every stage.
We manage the whole lifecycle, from planning consent through design, procurement and construction to completion, with a single point of accountability throughout. We lead consultant teams and manage contractors with confidence, holding every party to the programme. Our services include programme management, delivery strategy reviews, RIBA design stage management, document control and order management.
We have delivered complex residential and mixed-use developments, including our central coordination role at Bourn Airfield.
Development Management
Our development management specialists lead delivery on our clients’ behalf, managing stakeholders and consortium partners and steering key decisions. We carry out risk assessments, plan mitigation and coordinate technical approvals, as we did for the Section 278 highway works at Miles Cross.
Construction & Delivery Support
Our specialists support safe, well-sequenced delivery on site, from advice on enabling works and utilities coordination to site supervision. We act as CDM Principal Designer, prepare F10 notifications, maintain HSE records and advise on facilities management.
Sectors We Support
Our project delivery specialists support residential, mixed-use and commercial development, from major multi-phase new communities and urban extensions to individual sites and focused commissions covering a single approvals workstream or stage of construction.
Alongside new homes, we manage the delivery of the infrastructure and community facilities that come with growth, including highways, drainage and utilities, schools and community buildings, working with landowners, consortium partners and public sector bodies.

FAQs
When should we involve your Project Delivery & Management specialists?
We are typically appointed once a development strategy or planning consent is in place and a project is preparing for design, procurement and construction. Involving us earlier, ideally before consent is granted, means we can make sure the consent is practical to deliver and plan approvals and the programme from the outset. We can also join a project at any stage, often to bring a programme back on track.
How is Project Delivery & Management different from your Development Partner service?
Our Development Partner service helps clients define the right development approach, from identifying and appraising opportunities through to establishing a deliverable strategy. Project Delivery & Management focuses on executing that strategy. We lead and coordinate the design, procurement, infrastructure delivery and construction needed to turn a consent into a completed project.
How do you manage project risk?
We identify risks from the start and keep a live risk register throughout delivery. Each risk has an owner and a plan to deal with it. We review risks regularly with the project team and report them to clients, so problems are dealt with before they affect programme or cost.
How do you keep projects on programme?
We build realistic programmes around the development’s phasing and commercial priorities, then manage them actively. We track milestones, coordinate workstreams so they run in the right order and look for chances to run activities in parallel.
How do you control project costs?
We track spending against the agreed budget and run clear order and payment processes. We challenge contractor and consultant costs throughout delivery and look for savings at every stage.
How do you manage contractors and consultants?
We set clear scopes, responsibilities and deliverables from the outset, then hold every party to them. We run regular progress meetings, track performance against the programme and step in early if anyone falls behind.
Can you work alongside our existing consultants and contractors?
Yes. We can lead and coordinate an existing project team, or bring in our own in-house planning, engineering, environmental and commercial specialists where additional expertise is needed.
Can you act as CDM Principal Designer?
Yes. Our specialists can act as Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. We coordinate health and safety during the pre-construction phase and support clients in meeting their wider duties.
