Our Services

Rokeby carries out direct development and development management services on behalf of partners. These services include:

Masterplanning

Identifying development opportunities. Advising on masterplanning options which are realistic and capable of implementation. Direct on subsequent planning applications and supporting information.

Site Investigation and Development Constraints

Every site has visible and hidden limitations which can become a significant cost to rectify, particularly if something goes wrong. With over 35 years individual experience, Rokeby and it’s team have encountered most challenges including mine workings, soft ground, hidden services’, underground fires, contamination, asbestos, burial sites, archaeology, railway lines, rights of light, river and quay walls.

Rokeby can advise on likely constraints and how to deal with them.

Construction

Negotiating building contracts, seeking to minimise client risks; appointments and warranties; other requisite consents and preparing realistic programmes.

Listed and Heritage Properties

The majority of Rokeby’s work involves some form of listed or heritage property. Rokeby can advise on the challenges of working with listed properties, how best to work with the properties as an asset rather than a hindrance and working techniques to preserve or regenerate them.
