Surveying, Engineering and Site Planning in Southern Maine and NH Seacoast and Lakes Region

Company History

Founded in 1986, we named our company after the original name given to the village of Rochester by its early settlers.

Norway Plains Associates, Inc. has been providing quality surveying and civil engineering services for over 22 years. We have built an extensive network of repeat clients who time and time again have put their faith and trust in our ability to complete their project in a professional and timely manner.

The principals of the company, Art Nickless and Randy Tetreault, along with original founder Charlie Karcher, have worked together for over 30 years. This long-term association coupled with a hands-on managerial approach provides a unique advantage for our company and our clients.

We currently employ fourteen full time staff.  Nine of these full time employees are Licensed Land Surveyors and/or Licensed Professional Engineers.  We feel this gives our clients an added measure of assurance with respect to the quality of our work.

 

" … and a surveyor was appointed to lay out the plantation in one hundred and twenty-five lots of sixty acres each, in ranges from the SaImon Falls River to the Barrington line. The small size of the lots left the larger portion of the granted tract undisposed of and December 17, 1730 another drawing was held for lots consisting of two hundred and forty acres.

The land, then divided, included a large part of the territory now in Milton and Farmington and also a level tract which was called NORWAY PLAINS on account of its being covered by Norway Pines … A considerable portion of this tract was left common and is now the site of Rochester Village."
