Our Transition Team

The Brookbanks Transition Team bridges that space between an outline planning permission and commencement of on-site works; we call it the most critical time in the development process.

It is this part of the development cycle where development programmes can be challenged or delayed and margins can be eroded. During these times of transition, careful management and review of information is fundamental to great outcomes for project owners.

Our specialist team is on hand to support our clients through land sales and purchases, to achieve timely and cost effective on site delivery. Key services include:

🎯 Production of Sales Packs

🎯 Foundation recommendations and review

🎯 Site technical reviews for site acquisitions and sale

🎯 Providing a strategic review of utility delivery for the Site

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. The discussion focuses on why evaluating a project's financial footprint over its entire lifespan rather than just its construction phase can improve scheme viability, reduce risk, and ultimately create more sustainable, cost-effective assets.
