Lyons is a near-west suburb strung along the Des Plaines River, blending older residential blocks with commercial land and riverfront parcels. Construction here is largely additions and rebuilds on established lots plus commercial and site work, and each relies on staking to fix corners and grades. Where the river corridor is close, accurate elevation staking earns its keep.
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.
Lyons, a village of roughly 10,800, straddles the Lyons and Riverside townships along the Des Plaines River in near-west Cook County. Its deeds, plats, and easements are recorded at the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which absorbed the Recorder of Deeds function in December 2020. Construction in the village is a mix of residential rebuilds and additions on established lots, commercial work, and site and utility jobs, some of it near the river corridor. Because parts of the village lie near the mapped floodplain, precise staking of grades and building elevations helps keep construction on plan.

Yes. Where a site sits near the Des Plaines River corridor, staking accurate grades and building elevations helps keep construction to the approved plan and correctly 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.
