Highwood is a compact, walkable city with a dense grid of homes and a lively commercial strip near the lakefront. Renovation and small-scale redevelopment on those tight lots benefit from a topographic survey that spells out how the ground sits. Contours and grades captured early let a design manage runoff on closely spaced parcels.
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.
Highwood has a population near 5,000 and lies within Moraine Township in Lake County. The county seat is Waukegan, and deeds are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office. The city lies in the Des Plaines River watershed, where FEMA flood hazard areas touch some low-lying parcels. For additions and rebuilds on Highwood’s compact lots, a topo documents existing grades so new work drains toward a legal outlet rather than a neighbor.
It gives the designer accurate grades and features to plan an addition or rebuild and to keep stormwater managed on a tightly spaced lot.
Contours, spot elevations, existing improvements, visible utilities, trees and surface drainage patterns, all drawn to scale.
A boundary survey handles property lines while a topographic survey handles the land’s shape; both are commonly required on a build.
