About us

Thank you for considering R.A.S. Associates. My name is Stephen W. Cartwright, PLS and as the principal and owner I would like to introduce myself. I am a licensed Professional Land Surveyor with over thirty four years of experience focusing with property surveys in the greater Falmouth area and the South Shore. During my professional career, I have also gained valuable experience having been a principal consultant associated with several of the largest public works and mass transportation projects in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This has provided me a valuable insight into the area of property law. As our primary area of focus is Cape Cod and the Plymouth area, I promise, prompt, professional work in all that we do. As real estate is probably the largest purchase one can make, a proper understanding of your property is very important. Please feel free to contact me directly at 508-789-2259 to discuss your surveying needs.

Steve has done a top job in sorting out the boundaries with my neighbors. My back lot had been woods for 25+years and the house was rented out so the neighbors had begun to look at the back lot woods as their own private preserve.

My wife & I found it a great pleasure working with Steve. He is extremely knowledgeable & easy to work with. Steve did his homework before arriving, having researched the property. He listened to our concerns & fully explained the property lines. We found him interesting & to the point. I am 83 years of age & have been self-employed since my 20's & I have dealt with many people. If I had my companies running today, I would hire Steve because of his caring and work ethic. I don't think you could find anyone better.

I highly recommend this company. Steve responded to my request promptly and came by same day to give me a quote. The price was very good; significantly lower than what I would have to pay other companies. The job was scheduled and done very fast and extremely professionally. On top of that, Steve gave me much appreciated professional advice. Overall, I was very impressed and would most certainly recommend RAS Associates.

I highly recommend this company, owner Stephen Cartwright for all your surveying needs. Stephen earned my trust by handling my call in a professional manner and answered all of my questions carefully and professionally. He took time to explain everything to me I needed to know about the survey. He then followed through with the whole process just as he described. I find RAS Associates and the owner to be very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. The pricing was also very reasonable.

RAS Associates did more work than I expected. Steve was very thorough and backed up my survey with lots of research of original plot of street and the type of deed and my rights and privileges that come with that deed type. As an engineer, I appreciate this detail. The service price was very reasonable compared to the product outcome that resulted. Steve was also most expeditious in starting the work ASAP.

Steve did superb work surveying our property, which involved an intricate amount of detail related to the lot lines and easements. He was thorough, professional, and wonderfully informative and helpful. It was a pleasure and privilege to have him do this survey for us, and we recommend him highly.

Steve is knowledgeable . My major objection to Steve is that he talks about his personal life with people he has just met. My neighbor called me to tell me that she was worried about his well being because he sounded so upset. This is the main reason I let him go.

Steve was prompt in coming to my house on a Saturday. I hired him on the spot and he did the work that day. He hand delivered my elevation certificate with 4 originals. Because my house is a few inches above the flood plan he also submitted the forms to FEMA for an exemption (LOMA).

The Owner, Stephen Cartwright was very responsive to my "Home Advisor" search for a professional Land Survey with placing multiple boundary markers. Within a few hours, he was at my house conducting a review of the work I requested and he formulated a very reasonable price and the work to be completed within a very reasonable time. Stephen also took the time to go over and explain to me all aspects of the project. As promised, Stephen commenced work on the project within a few days. The work was completed under the quoted lead time and I received the multiple physical boundary markers as well as a professionally drawn plot plan showing all the property markers as well as the city/state markers used as authoritative and verifiable reference points. "R.A.S. Associates", Stephen Cartwright is very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and very attentive to customer service satisfaction through his consistent line of communication with me. I am very pleased with the work performed by "R.A.S. Associates", Stephen Cartwright and I would recommend them to family, friends and anyone seeking a professional job on time and at a reasonable price.
