Palatine blends established residential neighborhoods with an active downtown that has seen transit-oriented redevelopment near the Metra line. Where lots are tight and grades already set, builders lean on measured elevation data before they design. A topographic survey documents contours, existing improvements and drainage so plans fit the real ground conditions.
A topographic survey maps the elevations, contours and natural and man-made features of a site — grades, structures, utilities, trees and drainage — giving architects and engineers the data they need to design accurately and secure permits.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
With a population near 67,900, Palatine straddles the Palatine and Wheeling townships in the northwest corner of Cook County. Land records for the village, including surveys and easements, are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Portions of the community sit within the Salt Creek and Des Plaines drainage network, making accurate grade information central to stormwater and detention design. On infill and teardown-rebuild lots, a topographic survey establishes the elevations engineers need to control runoff and match neighboring properties.
Official resources for Palatine property owners
Most Palatine teardown-rebuild permits benefit from one, since the new design must respect existing grades and drainage on and around the lot. The survey gives the engineer verified elevations to build from.
A boundary survey defines property lines, while a topographic survey maps elevations, contours and site features. Many projects need both, but they answer different questions.
Yes. The deliverable is prepared in CAD so grading, utility and site plans can be developed directly from the surveyed contours and points.
