"Dennis responded quickly to my initial inquiry, and told me the work could be done within 5 weeks. Unfortunately, the site visit did not occur until 11 weeks later. There were some issues with the initial plot, and this eventually required further site visits and consultation with another surveyor who had worked on the adjacent property. The shape of my plot is irregular, and this complicated matters. Communication during this period of uncertainty was not good, and I had to make repeated inquiries to get answers about what was going on. Paul Coutu, the surveyor who did the site visits, was very clear and helpful when I was eventually able to speak with him, and the final version of the plot resolved all the issues. However, the entire process took 5 months from the time of my original request, and much of the time I struggled to keep informed as to what was happening."

"The project went just as we expected after reading the online reviews for this company. Communication was an A+ and the quality of the work was also great. The only negative during the project was a few days delay during inspections by the city but it wasn't the builders fault. We were happy with the work and would hire them again for a future project."

"I was extremely pleased with the work that Merrimack Engineering Services provided in surveying my property. Mr. Stapinski provided me a schedule for completing the work and he was on time and on budget. Mr. Stapinski was timely in responding to my emails and very detailed in defining the scope of work. The staff member who performed the work was extremely professional and took time out to show me the boundary and answer my questions. I would highly recommend Merrimack Engineering Services for all surveying work and if the need arose, I would definitely hire him again."

FAQs for engineer service projects in Boston, MA

Timelines for soil tests vary depending on the type of test and its analysis process. Availability for on-site testing, consultations, and labs also affects how long it takes to get results back. In general, more complex or in-depth soil tests take longer to complete.

Soil testing is a valuable investment for many homeowners. Tests generally contribute to a project's success by identifying potential issues, such as structural issues or unbalanced nutritional profiles. Some local regulations require these tests to obtain building permits and may fine sites that fail to satisfy inspection and testing guidelines.

The best method for soil testing is the one that’s aligned with your goals. Soil tests provide insights into different soil characteristics and are consequently suited to certain projects and goals. For example, basic soil profiles and garden and lawn soil tests provide nutritional insight and help inform topsoil needs, amendments, and plant selection.
