Building Surveying

Padstow Lifeboat Station is a bespoke lifeboat station occupying a site at Trevose Head on the Beach at Padstow, Cornwall. The building owners, the RNLI, instructed Bennington Green to complete a valuation for the rebuild of the Station, for insurance purposes.

Bennington Green were instructed by Hamwic Trust to prepare a maintenance plan for Livingstone Infant School in Parkstone. The property is constructed largely over a single storey with a small first floor section used as offices. The main building dates from the 1940s and comprised masonry external walls with a flat roof, a series of cabins were installed approximately 10 years ago to provide additional teaching space.

Bennington Green were appointed to complete a RICS Level 2 Survey by the purchaser of this one-off house. The modern, low energy sustainable home is built on a sloping wooded site, located within the Branksome Park Conservation Area. The external leaf of the building was clad with natural materials and internally, the property boasted several En-Suite Bedrooms, Reception Rooms, Study, Games Room, Gym and Swimming Pool.

Bennington Green were engaged to deliver a programme of twenty two maintenance assessments across the Care South southern portfolio of care homes. The programme was to be delivered within a constrained timeframe. The properties in question consisted generally of large care facilities of between 40-60 units (approximately), a number of which were subject to statutory protection as a result of their historic value.
