Dennis DiPrete

Cranston, RI DiPrete Engineering, a civil engineering, land planning, and land surveying firm with offices in Cranston, Dedham, and Newport, has joined Andrews Survey & Engineering, Inc., creating one of the largest land surveying operations in Southern New England.

“Having Byron’s family business join our family business will allow the legacy of their work to continue as well as add their resources to more of New England,” said Dennis DiPrete, president of DiPrete Engineering. “Andrews’ clients, projects, and expertise are strong in the Worcester area and extend from the Cape to the 128 corridor.”

 Andrews, a third-generation firm, was founded in 1978 as a surveying and planning resource for Blackstone Valley and has since expanded its database to include the greater Boston, Worcester, and Providence regions. Over the last decade, Andrews has completed a wide variety of projects ranging from 500-acre surveys, construction layout of large building and site projects, and extensive residential surveys in the New England area. The team’s portfolio consists mainly of commercial, institutional, and residential projects.

“Andrews has a long tradition of providing quality service to our customers in eastern Massachusetts and the rest of southern New England,” said Byron Andrews, vice president of the firm.

“We’re excited to join with DiPrete Engineering because together we can provide even better and broader services to our existing clients and to new clients in the future. My father taught me that our relationship with the customer is most important, and I’m excited about what we will be able to achieve for our clients together.”

Some of Andrews’ largest engineering projects include: Park Place in Wrentham, Highfields of Grafton in Grafton, Sutton Park in Sutton, Forest Lake Seasonal Cottage Community in Palmer, BWC French River Solar in Oxford, Hartford Village Condominiums in Bellingham, and Forge Park in Franklin. The team has also completed work for Babson College, Wellesley College, Worcester State College, and other institutional clients.

“We are excited about the experience and expertise Andrews will bring to our team and look forward to what the future holds as a unified force,” said DiPrete.
