Charles Perkins Engineering in Clinton.  368-8773.  I dunno about their
prices, but they're a big outfit, should be able to schedule on (relatively)
short notice.

    Try Bouley Brothers in (I think) Worcester.  I don't know how busy
    they are, but I've known Willie Bouley for years and would trust 
    him to do a good job. A very nice guy.

    We were very satisfied with the prices and service from Paul Murphy
    of Maynard (897-2777).

              GLM Engineering Consultants, Inc. - Holliston
    
    We had our land surveyed back in January '88.  GLM staked the lot
    lines, did an instrument location of the house and prepared a plot
    plan for $700. They were the most reasonable price we found after
    months of requesting bids (most others were $1000 to $1500). We
    live in Leominster so this included travel time also. 
    
    They gave us a bid relatively quickly and performed the survey within
    a few weeks after signing a contract. My only complaint is that
    it took a couple months for them to send the new plot plan. Overall
    I was very pleased with their work.
    
    We dealt with Joyce Hastings at GLM. They are located at 1750
    Washington St., Holliston, MA.  Phone: 429-1100
                                       

    
    	Drake Associates Inc. in Frammingham (770, Grove St.
    508-877-0848) is HIGHLY recommended as far as Schedule,
    Quality of Job and Price. This is a Home Business type
    of operation, but very professional as far as surveying.
    	One caution is when you going to their "office" you
    need to have your mind set for a "HOUSE" rather than an
    office. I passed by the place even with my 2nd trip.
    	Oh, they draw "SEPTIC" system layout too !!
    
    Happy Customer !
    			=Joe=
    P.S. They use AUTOCAD S/W package in a DEC "RAINBOW" !!
    
    

I recently used Spofford Engineering from Holden, MA. for a boundary survey. 
This is a home business type of operation that also does Percs and septics.
I was very pleased with the responsiveness, quality and price.

Bob Hart of Northboro, MA (508) 393-3058. Set the front bounds, did a 
plot plan, and helped the excavator with the elevation of the house

He was the first guy I called who didn't insist I needed a complete 
survey to set the front bounds. ("why do you need to survey the back 
when you're putting posts in the front" was how he put it-- compelling 
argument to me of the anemic checkbook).

The work was done about when he said it would be and the plans, etc. 
were acceptable to all who needed to accept them.

    I had to have mine done last year, when abutters started building
    on a lot I thought was 'unbuildable..."  but thats another story..
    I used Noonan and McDowell in Billerica.  They have the best
    reputation there (for whatever that's worth!!) and did a good
    job staking all corners, along the line, filing the marks with
    the deed folks (the whole subdivision was incorrectly marked
    so he was working to get the town to rectify the situation)
    ANyway it was more work than a usual survey so it cost
    $900,...but I should think the regular one would be more like$600,.

Mike provided me with prompt, professional service, is a pleasure to 
work with and well respected with local officials.  You may tell him
I referred him.

    Does anyone have a current reference for a surveyor in So. New
    Hampshire?

    For a 'professional' surveying company at a reasonable price try
    David E. Ross and Associates.  I believe they maybe even certified
    for NH but I am not positive about this. They are based out of Ayer
    and their number is 772-6232.  Ask for Charles Caron.  You can tell
    him I refered you.

    I have used Pembroke Land Survey Co., Salem N.H. a couple of times. I
    know they are licensed in both Mass. and N.H..
    They were excellent to work with, thorough, and reasonable priced.
    The number is 603-898-4701 and ask for Ralph Esposito.

    When I used Doug in 1991 he was the least expensive and he did the job
    on time and met his quote.  I was planning to request a variance to
    build within 30 ft of the street on a corner lot so I needed to have
    measurements to the nearest tenth of a foot. He charged only $200 for a
    complete job of determining boundaries and placing the house on the
    lot.
    
    A year later, I refinanced my house and the bank wanted $125 for a
    plot plan. I asked Doug if he could do it for under $125. He updated my
    original work, added the verbage for the bank, and didn't charge me.
    All he asked was for me to pass his name along if the opportunity
    presented itself.
    
    I would use him again and I do recommend him highly to everyone else.

      Here is a recommendation for southern New Hampshire...
    
       M.J. Grainger Engineering Inc.
       220 Derry Rd.
       Hudson, N.H. 03051
    
       Mike Grainger was very prompt, professional, and reasonable with
    prices.  Dealing with him was easy compared to other firms in the area.
    
                                                                 -Jeff
    
     

I'm looking for a recommendation for surveryors in the Leominster area.

Thanks,

    Ayer, Ma 01432
    tel: 508-772-6232
    
    I used David E. Ross and Associates based in Ayer and
    was very pleased with the outcome.
    
    I called 3 surveryors, FAXing them our plot plan indicating 
    where we needed stakes.  Mike Martorella from Ross and Assoc 
    called letting me know that he had the original survey of our 
    property.  It indicated there should be stakes at those points 
    already.  (There weren't.  Subsequent grading had removed them, 
    but I was left with a very favorable impression of the company.)  
    
    Once the bids came in, Ross and Assoc was the lowest of the 3.  
    They showed up on time and did a very professional job.  I highly 
    recommend them.
