Harwood Heights is a small, fully built village surrounded by Chicago and neighboring suburbs, with tight residential blocks and commercial corridors. Its construction is largely additions and rebuilds on established lots plus commercial infill, and each relies on staking to place the design accurately. On these close parcels, precise setbacks keep new work inside the property.
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.

Harwood Heights, a village of roughly 9,100, lies within Norwood Park Township on the northwest side, bordered closely by Chicago. Its plats, easements, and recorded surveys are held by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which absorbed the Recorder of Deeds function in December 2020. With the village fully developed, construction is mostly additions and rebuilds on established residential lots along with commercial infill on the corridors. Staking the exact building line and setbacks on these tight parcels keeps new work from encroaching on adjoining lots.
