Welcome to CHESS Engineering, LLC! I'm located in Lowell, MA and provide land surveying and civil engineering services for land development projects such as residential subdivisions, lot stakeouts and civil/site design. As a dual licensed Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor in Massachusetts, I provide consulting and sub-consulting services for a wide range of clients including homeowners, builders, developers and other professional designers. When requesting a surveying task, please be as specific as possible. Let me know if you require a property line stakeout, plan, engineered design or some combination of them all. Being dual licensed, I am your "one stop shop" for all tasks related to your property.

"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 provide homeowners with quality land surveying services done in a timely, cost effective manner, with the personalized service that I have provided residential clients for years. Call me today to discuss your survey needs and receive a free estimate.

"I am constantly sharing with others the outstanding work of Abagis Associates. First, I learned how important it is to get your property surveyed professionally. I was surprised to see where the actual lot lines were - in comparison to the very general mortgage map that came with the house. Also, In comparison to other surveyors the prices were extremely fair. However, it is John Abagis's strong work ethic and dedicated customer service that really sets this company apart. My property needed quite a bit of research done, which John did with a fine tooth comb. His work is meticulous -- and regardless that the work entailed much more time and effort than anticipated due to unexpected challenges -- he stuck to his original price estimate. John Abagis has done two jobs for me. He was easy to reach, able to provide me the date availability I needed - and has been kind enough to answer numerous questions I've had since the work was completed. -- I could not recommend Abagis Associates more highly."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

Costs vary, but you can expect to spend between $1,000 and $4,000 to prepare land for a mobile home or before you build a house. You’ll need to clear enough land for the foundation, which may require leveling or grading, as well as removing trees, stumps, and plants. Don’t forget to plan for permits and fees and the installation of a gas line, water line, and sewer main.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.

A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:

  • Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. 

  • Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. 

  • Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. 

  • Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. 

  • Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements.

Land surveying costs about $530 for the average homeowner. However, your total cost could range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 or more. Factors like the size of your property play a significant role in what you pay, but other things like the survey type and the time of year can also impact the final cost. 

For example, if you’re looking for a simple boundary survey, you can expect to pay between $100 and $600. However, if you want a more in-depth survey that depicts the elevations of your hills and trees, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for a topographic survey.

Land surveys are worth it in several scenarios including selling your home, building an addition, constructing a fence, or making major changes to your landscape. A professional land survey can help you avoid legal issues with your neighbors and confirm the value of your property. In many cases, you may be required to order a land survey to receive a construction permit or mortgage loan.
