Brookwood has planned, organized and administered the acquisition, design and construction of new buildings and the retrofit of existing facilities for major corporations and institutions in the United States and abroad.  In many cases, these efforts have been carried out under highly accelerated schedules, and for large numbers of facilities (up to 600 separate locations within a single project assignment). Brookwood also pioneered web-based software applications for distributed facilities management through its SWIMware licensed software suite.

In the 1990s, Brookwood (then known as Satulah Group) emerged as the leading firm in the U.S. assisting banks with project management for the conversion, consolidation and integration of branch facilities following mergers, acquisitions and restructuring.  The firm has managed the conversion and consolidation of more than 2,000 bank facilities including:
