Smarter, Integrated M&E Design for a Sustainable Future
At Brookbanks, we go beyond traditional mechanical and electrical (M&E) design. Our mission is to ensure that every system we create works seamlessly within the broader context of a project- whether it's a residential development, a commercial building, or a complex infrastructure scheme.
More Than Just M&E:
We don’t just deliver M&E expertise – we deliver integration. Our team understands how mechanical and electrical systems connect with infrastructure planning, cost management, and sustainability goals. This holistic approach allows us to create smarter, more efficient, and better-performing buildings.
Tailored Solutions for Every Project:
Every project has its own set of priorities. Some clients need to meet strict energy targets, while others aim to future-proof their buildings without exceeding budget. Our role is to balance performance, cost, and sustainability, ensuring that our designs are practical, compliant, and built for long-term success.
A Hands-On, Collaborative Approach:
We work closely with developers, contractors, and design teams from concept to completion. This hands-on approach ensures that every element of the project runs smoothly and aligns with the overall vision.
Leading the Way in Net Zero Carbon Design:
We’re proud to have designed the UK’s first regulated Net Zero Carbon retirement development at Inspired Villages’ flagship Millfield Green site in Bedfordshire. This groundbreaking project features:
- A fully integrated energy strategy
- Ground source heat pumps
- Roof-mounted solar panels
- A planned battery energy storage system
These innovations dramatically reduce emissions and operational costs, while enabling the site to operate almost entirely off-grid for most of the year. It’s a major step forward in sustainable development—and a benchmark for the future.
That’s the Brookbanks Difference…
At Brookbanks, we’re not just designing systems – we’re shaping the future of sustainable, integrated development. That’s the Brookbanks difference.
