Park Forest was one of the country’s landmark planned communities, and its distinctive layout of curved streets, courts, and commons shapes how construction fits here today. Construction staking translates approved plans into field marks for foundations, utilities, and grades that must respect that unusual plat. On Park Forest lots, careful staking keeps new work aligned with the community’s original design and boundaries.
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.
With about 21,700 residents, Park Forest straddles Rich and Bloom townships in southern Cook County and retains the recorded plats from its planned-community origins. Those plats, deeds, and easements are held by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Construction here centers on residential rehabilitation, infill, and commercial site work, so staking often means laying out foundations and utilities against a plat that departs from a standard grid. Referencing the recorded plat for each stake keeps Park Forest projects true to their parcels.

Yes. Park Forest’s planned layout can complicate lot lines, so we stake foundations, setbacks, and utilities carefully against the recorded plat for each parcel.
When streets and lots are not on a simple grid, it is harder to judge boundaries by eye, so surveyed staking is the reliable way to place a building correctly.
