Berwyn is famous for its dense rows of brick bungalows on a compact, flat grid just west of Chicago. When owners renovate, add on or redevelop here, a topographic survey records the tight grades and existing features that a small city lot presents. That detail is what keeps drainage working between closely spaced homes.
A topographic survey maps the elevations, contours and natural and man-made features of a site — grades, structures, utilities, trees and drainage — giving architects and engineers the data they need to design accurately and secure permits.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Berwyn is a city of roughly 57,000 residents that is coextensive with Berwyn Township in eastern Cook County. Deeds and plats for the city are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Its terrain is flat and drains toward the Des Plaines River system, so even minor elevation changes matter when planning how a rebuilt or expanded property sheds water. On Berwyn’s narrow, long-established lots, a topographic survey gives engineers the elevation picture needed to grade a site without pushing runoff onto adjacent properties.
Official resources for Berwyn property owners
Yes; a topographic survey captures the existing grades, walks and structures around a Berwyn lot so any addition or reworked drainage is designed to fit the tight site.
Ground elevations and contours plus features such as buildings, driveways, fences, trees and visible utilities, all in CAD format.
No; the boundary survey defines property lines while the topographic survey maps elevations and features, and design work often needs both together.
