About Ocean State Planners
Ocean State Planners, Inc. is a survey and design practice in Cranston, Rhode Island, working across Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The firm states it has been doing this since 1982, which makes it one of the longer-established independents in the Rhode Island market.
For commercial due diligence the relevant fact is that ALTA Surveys is a named line in its own service navigation, not an implied capability. Plenty of firms of this size do residential boundary work and stop there.
The unusual part: zoning and wetlands under one roof
Most surveyors sell surveying. Ocean State Planners lists zoning and plans consulting, wetlands delineation, soil evaluations and flood certificates as separate practice areas alongside the survey menu.
That matters more than it looks, because of how Table A Item 6 works. Item 6 does not ask the surveyor to research zoning: it only tells them to transcribe onto the plat what a zoning report or letter you supply already says. Buyers routinely discover this late and then have to source a zoning report while the survey waits. A firm that produces zoning work itself removes one handoff from that chain.
Worth checking rather than assuming: we have confirmed they offer zoning consulting, not that their zoning product satisfies a specific lender the way a PZR-style report does. Ask what the deliverable contains before you rely on it for a title company’s zoning endorsement.
The wetlands and flood lines are similarly practical in this region. Rhode Island and coastal Massachusetts sites frequently need a flood elevation certificate and a wetlands edge alongside the survey, and those are the same site visit.

Best For
- Best for a Rhode Island commercial asset where you want a long-established local firm rather than a national programme.
- Best where zoning, wetlands or flood work rides alongside the survey, which is common on southern New England sites, because it is one vendor and one site visit.
- Best where Item 6 is on your Table A list, since the zoning input can come from the same firm instead of a separate procurement.
- Not for a multi-state portfolio. Three adjacent states from one office is a regional practice, not a national one.
- Confirm the zoning deliverable in writing. Zoning consulting is not automatically a lender-accepted zoning report.
