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.

Welcome to our April 2026 newsletter. In this month's Brookbanks newsletter, learn more about how high-rise developments can be made more deliverable, with guidance on how you can reduce risk and protect viability. We're also looking back on our April webinar, where Annabel Le Lohe and Katherine Peers gave a rundown of Environmental Impact Assessments and how coordination can make a real impact on project delivery. Plus, there's a recap of this month's podcasts featuring two special guests. Paul Smith, Managing Director at The Strategic Land Group, and Tom Park, Associate Development Director at Caddick Developments. Also, find out which members of our team will be at UKREiiF as well as more about the CPD event we're co-hosting with the LPDF in May.
Brookbanks Webinar: Comprehensive Coordination for Environmental Impact Assessments
April 23, 2026
In this webinar we explore how Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) can be better coordinated to support clearer, more robust planning decisions. Annabel Le Lohé and Katherine Peers set out how EIAs are intended to function, before focusing on the practical considerations that influence how effective an assessment is in practice, from early briefing decisions through to long‑term delivery. The session was aimed at those working across planning, development and technical disciplines who are involved in preparing, coordinating or contributing to EIAs, particularly on large and complex schemes.
Podcast Episode #15: Energy Pressures in Industrial & Logistics Projects
April 20, 2026
Explore how rising energy demand, grid capacity constraints and changing requirements are shaping industry and logistics developments, and what developers can do to manage energy risk and future‑proof schemes.
