About us

Our Story

Bennington Green Associates was originally formed in 1992 by Damon Green to provide Building Surveying services primarily locally within the Bournemouth and Poole conurbations. The company at this time was primarily owned, managed, and delivered by Damon Green and serviced primarily residential clients. The company gathered an enviable reputation locally for delivering a first-class service with a significant proportion of the instructions coming from repeat clients.

In August 2005, the company was acquired and Bennington Green Ltd was formed. The company was taken forwards by Nigel Soloman, a Chartered Civil Engineer, and Keith Kirkwood, a Chartered Quantity Surveyor with Damon Green remaining actively involved in the evolution and growth of the business, into a multi-disciplinary practice.

In 2016 the company was re-organised with Ryan Greening and Victoria Jones appointed as Directors along with Nigel and Keith. This instigated the next phase of the company’s development, with Keith retiring as a Director in 2019. Ryan, a dual qualified Chartered Quantity Surveyor and Building Surveyor, was brought in to lead the technical aspects of the service delivery and Victoria was charged with the operational control of the company. This structure remains in place to this day.

The company has grown significantly since 2005, and we now work for a broad range of clients and we continue to introduce new complimentary services to our offering. We presently provide a full suite of property and construction consultancy solutions.

The company was started with the intention of being different, providing a professional, knowledgeable, practical and flexible approach to our services and outperforming all of our competitors to deliver a better service for our clients. We believe we have achieved this and we continue striving to innovate in order to maintain and enhance our high level of service delivery.

Our Vision

“To be a great firm that is a modern, forward thinking, successful consultancy business that attracts, develops, excites and retains exceptional people who enjoy delivering the highest levels of professional service”

Testimonials

I have commissioned two Level 3 Building Surveys from Bennington Green in the Bournemouth area in the past year. The surveys and the follow-up regarding my questions were both excellent – very clear and helpful. I can highly recommend their services based on my experience.

Nigel was great and called us back the very same day, even though he had finished work for the day. He came to visit us the very next day after we called to do a free assessment visit. The next day he sent a highly detailed fee proposal which he clearly spent a lot of time compiling. All of which he did not ask for a single penny. A very well qualified person who cares about his clients.

Bennington Green assisted me to resolve a very complicated planning, party wall and boundary dispute with my neighbour during their extensive construction work. The fact that they could give legal advice, building planning/legislation advice and property surveying with one closely knit and highly qualified integrated team was invaluable and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We asked for a level 3 survey as suggested by the layer when we were buying our first property.. Jack did the survey and found lots of work that needed to be done, and estimated about 30K worth of work to do.. I then presented the survey to the seller and he agreed to drop the price by 12K!! Well worth the investment for the survey!! Thank you guys!

Commissioned Bennington Green (BG) to evaluate our property for a single story extension. They gave us several options, one of which we wanted to take forward to planning. the BG team surpassed expectations in terms of attentiveness , responsiveness , proactivity and delivery. Approached several companies and BG were by far the most professional. Built confidence & trust from the very first communication

We engaged Bennington Green to undertake a programme of Reinstatement Valuations and from the very start of initial discussions we were sure we had made the correct choice. Subsequent interaction with Bennington Green, their office, staff, and the valuers on site has been friendly and professional.
