Glencoe is an affluent North Shore village of large wooded lots, lakefront parcels, and a strong custom-home tradition. Construction here is dominated by teardown-rebuilds and additions on established lots, and each begins with staking the design on the ground. On these substantial parcels, accurate corners, setbacks, and grades keep new homes correctly placed.
Construction staking transfers the approved design to the ground — marking building corners, utilities, roads and grades so contractors build exactly where the plans intend. Accurate layout prevents costly rework and keeps projects on schedule.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Glencoe, a village of about 8,800, straddles the New Trier and Northfield townships along Lake Michigan on the North Shore. Its deeds, plats, and easements are recorded at the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which took over the Recorder of Deeds role in December 2020. With the village fully built out, construction is largely custom teardown-rebuilds and additions on mature residential lots. Staking the exact building line, setbacks, and grades on these established parcels keeps new construction from encroaching on adjoining lots and easements.

Yes. Even with the old house gone, the new build must sit within the lot’s setbacks and easements, so staking the corners and building line keeps it properly placed.
It’s the field layout of an approved design: a surveyor marks corners, utilities, roads, and grades so contractors build in the right place and grade, preventing rework.
After plans are approved and permitted, and before excavation, so the layout is set before the site is disturbed.
