Your home, inspected with precision and integrity
Randall Miller and Associates (RMA) has a rich history dating back to 1930, when Robert Petrie, the City Engineer of Marion, founded the company. Over the years, the company has grown and evolved, establishing a reputation for quality work through evaluation and a complete understanding of the client's needs.
In the 1970s, Randall Miller joined the company as a full partner, alongside then-President Robert Benedict. After Mr. Benedict's passing in 1984, the company relocated to 1911 Wabash Road. Under Randall Miller's guidance, the company expanded in size and expertise, catering to a wider client base and technological advances.
The company relocated again in 1993 to its current home in the downtown business district of Marion, Indiana, at 145 East Third Street. Since then, RMA has continued to expand into additional markets. In 1998, RMA opened its first satellite office in Muncie, Indiana, and in 2003 purchased J.H. Stephens Land Surveys, Inc., a surveying firm based in Wabash, Indiana.
The new Wabash RMA office provided services to several surrounding counties, including Huntington, Miami, and Kosciusko. The extensive survey files and survey data of J.H. Stephens, Inc. allowed RMA to enhance its capabilities and provide professional land surveying services to these various markets in an expeditious manner.

Criticisms of RMA's Work
Several reviewers have expressed concerns about RMA's work, particularly in regards to ethics and project management. One reviewer accused RMA of having "zero integrity or ethics" and pointed to their work in Madison County as evidence. Another reviewer shared a personal experience where RMA's oversight of a stormwater project led to flooding and damage in their neighborhood, despite RMA's claims that everything was fine.
Lack of Erosion Controls and Ineffective Design
The same reviewer who experienced flooding in their neighborhood also noted the lack of erosion controls on the RMA-managed site, which they believed contributed to the problems. They also questioned the effectiveness of RMA's design, stating that the pond on the site had never reached full pool despite RMA's calculations.
Positive Experience
On the other hand, one reviewer had a very positive experience with RMA, finding the staff to be responsive and knowledgeable. This reviewer was impressed with the company and gave them a 5-star rating.
