Can anyone recommend a good surveyor for someone wishing to develop about 150 acres of land in Sebago, Maine for residential view lots??ÿ I'm guessing between 10 and 2o lots at most.?ÿ I know the potential developer well, he's the uncle of one of my best friends. Quite the character, he made a good living urchin diving off the coast of Maine (back in the glory days) and then used the money to invest in some condos in Rhode Island. He's a pilot, a marine and aviation mechanic, and has been running a small excavation business on the side.?ÿ Plans to do most of the dirt work himself and is competent to do so.
He will need more guidance and on the ground support than I can give from NC if he is going to successfully wade through the red tape that DEP, MDOT, and Town of Sebago will throw at him. I warned him that development of this sort was incredibly risky. He understands that he may have to spend $20,000 just to find out that he can't do what he wants to.

Murphy,
I would suggest having him check in with Titcomb Associates in Falmouth, ME and see if that is something they can help him with. The owner, David Titcomb, is the chairman of the Board of Licensure for Professional Land Surveyors in Maine.
I am not very familiar with the other survey companies in Southern Maine as I work primarily in the Bangor Area.
He also might want to check out SGC Engineering in Westbrook. I went to college with a couple of the guys who work there, so I would rate them as highly capable.
Thank you.?ÿ I just passed those recommendations on.?ÿ Much appreciated.
