Doucet Survey

What Doucet Survey does

Doucet Survey is a New England–based professional land surveying and geomatics services firm that performs boundary surveys, topographic mapping, and land planning for private landowners, government agencies, and infrastructure-focused commercial clients. Founded in 1993 and headquartered across four offices in Newmarket, Bedford, and Keene, New Hampshire, and Kennebunk, Maine, the firm delivers consultative, project-based surveying services to utilities, transportation, infrastructure, construction, energy, marine engineering, and public-sector customers, including named engagements with MC (construction), GZA (energy/geotechnical), Collins Engineers (marine), the University of New Hampshire, and municipal public works departments.

The company's service portfolio spans land surveying, mapping, and land planning, augmented by precision spatial data collection hardware including high-definition laser scanning and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mapping. These technology solutions are positioned as differentiating capabilities within a fundamentally human-delivered service offering, executed by a team that markets more than 100 years of combined surveying experience under the leadership of president William J. Doucet.

Doucet operates a B2B professional services model with project-based quoting on a per-engagement basis, serving enterprise and institutional clients primarily across New England. Distribution is direct, via a regional four-office footprint, with minimal digital marketing presence limited to LinkedIn and Facebook brand pages. In January 2025, Doucet was acquired by SAM Companies (Surveying And Mapping), a national spatial data collection provider, and all existing staff transitioned to SAM; the firm now operates as a SAM subsidiary leveraging the parent's broader service suite while maintaining its New England regional density.
