Palos Heights sits amid the wooded, rolling landscape of the southwest suburbs near the forest preserves, with residential neighborhoods and commercial areas shaped by the terrain. Because the ground here is not always level, construction staking is key to setting foundations, utilities, and grades correctly against the site’s slopes. Accurate layout keeps a Palos Heights project buildable on terrain that changes elevation.
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.
Palos Heights has about 12,100 residents and spans Worth and Palos townships in southwest Cook County, in an area known for its hilly, wooded setting. The plats, deeds, and easements surveyors use for layout are recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. On the community’s varied terrain, staking often centers on grade and foundation layout where slope and drainage govern the design. Tying those stakes to the recorded plat and to the site grades keeps Palos Heights construction on target.

Yes. On Palos Heights’s sloped lots, grade staking is essential so foundations and drainage are built to the correct elevations shown on the plans.
