Harvey carries a heavy industrial legacy in the south suburbs, with rail yards, manufacturing sites, and older residential grids that all still see construction. New industrial pads, redevelopment of vacant parcels, utility work, and rebuilds all start with staking the design onto the ground. Accurate corners and grades keep these projects buildable and on plan.
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.
A south Cook County city of about 20,300, Harvey straddles the Thornton and Bremen townships along the rail corridors. Recorded plats, easements, and surveys for the city are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which merged in the Recorder of Deeds duties in December 2020. Much of Harvey’s construction involves industrial and commercial building, redevelopment of underused parcels, and site and utility work, alongside residential rebuilds on established lots. Staking is the step that ties those approved plans to the parcel, keeping buildings and utilities where they belong.

On redevelopment and industrial parcels, staking establishes building corners, grades, and utility positions so crews build to the approved plan and keep everything correctly placed.
It’s the field layout of an approved design — corners, utilities, roads, and grades — marked so contractors build in the right location and elevation, preventing rework.
After plans are approved and permitted, and before excavation, so the layout is set before the site is disturbed.
