Our Sectors

Our specialists bring planning, environmental, engineering, delivery and commercial expertise to the sectors that shape how people live, learn, work and move. Each sector has its own pressures, and our integrated team understands what it takes to deliver within them.

Sector knowledge and multidisciplinary expertise, brought together in one team.

We support clients across ten sectors: Residential, Industry & Logistics, Infrastructure, Commercial, Data Centres, Leisure, Education, Healthcare, High Rise and Heritage. In every one, our specialists draw on the full range of our services, so advice is joined up and grounded in what each type of project needs to succeed.

FAQs

Do you only work in these ten sectors?

These are the sectors where we bring the deepest experience, but our services apply to many other types of project, including mixed-use and energy schemes. Contact us to discuss your project.

Can you support a project that spans more than one sector?

Yes. Many projects combine sectors, such as new settlements that include homes, schools, healthcare and infrastructure. Our integrated team is well suited to coordinating these mixed schemes.

Do you work for public sector clients?

Yes. We work with local authorities, academy trusts, NHS trusts and other public bodies, as well as private developers, landowners and investors.

How do I find the right specialist for my sector?

Each sector page sets out how we support that sector. You can contact the team directly from any page, or email hello@brookbanks.com and we will connect you with the right specialists.
