CHESS Engineering, LLC

I was introduced to Paul/CHESS Engineering through my realtor. I wanted to maximize the value of my 10-acre property. Paul provided a free review of my property and told me that it was possible to build 3-4 homes on my property. I hired him to survey my large property and design the new homes. Paul took care of everything and was extremely knowledgeable about the process. I was able to leave things in his hands and within a year of hiring him, I was able to sell my property to a buyer for the price I was seeking. I couldnâ t have done it without CHESS Engineeringâ s expertise and I highly recommend him for any land project you have, large or small.

I hired Chess last minute because there was no plot plan on file for my property. I needed this to build a deck. The team was able accomplish this for me in two weeks exactly the time predicted and the price quoted. The project team worked independently which was very convenient because it was so busy.

Chess Engineering was the first call I made when looking to get my property surveyed and I'm glad I did. Paul listened to our needs and advised us on what we would need to get the plan completed. Our project wasn't straight forward since we were abutting wetlands. Paul knew who to call to help build wetlands into the survey. As a licensed surveyor, Paul is meticulous and passionate about his craft. I would highly Recommend Chess Engineering to anyone looking to get surveying done.

Please stay away from this surveyor! He is bad news and has a horrible business model of paying by his time and not by the job. Please see Yelp for other reviews before considering this contractor. Chess Engineering (Paul Campbell) will provide you with a contract and an estimate which will almost definitely be exceeded by 20% or more. My final cost exceeded $500 more than what was estimated. Terrible estimate. I found the contract to be not in good faith, as he lists the estimated time for the surveyor team and for him in particular - yet will add charges not specified in the contract, bill you for it, and then bully you into paying. He even said to me something like "If you don't pay, I will come back and remove the property markers that I installed". As the previous review stated, he will unilaterally change his own contract terms to meet his needs but holds the customer to what he believes is the letter of the agreement. The work provided was ok, but interaction with and communication by Paul is frustrating, upsetting and most of all unprofessional. Please please please, stick with a surveyor who charges by the job and don't make the same mistake than me and others have made. This guy and this company certainly do not deserve your business and your hard earned money.

The company measured my land and the man did a great job. It was a little expensive but I am glad I had it done.

Highly responsive to emails, thorough and detailed in communications, and transparent about pricing. Competent and knowledgeable in the work they do.

Very professional , communications was excellent. .

We will most definitely be recommending Paul from Chess Engineering to others! He was extremely knowledgable, professional, and efficient. He was responsive to emails, reliable, and completed his work in a way that very much helped us in the early stages of our construction. He was very fairly priced for the high-quality work he provides.

Right on schedule and affordable.
