Lincolnwood is a small, affluent village of well-kept homes and commercial corridors bordering Chicago’s north side. Additions and teardown-rebuilds are steady here, each starting with a topographic survey of an established lot. Those elevations guide grading and drainage on the village’s flat parcels.
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.
Lincolnwood has roughly 13,000 residents and is coextensive with a portion of Niles Township in northern Cook County. Its land records are maintained by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The village is flat and drains toward the North Shore Channel and the wider Chicago River system, so grading design must move runoff carefully across level ground. A topographic survey supplies the contours and spot elevations a design team uses to grade a Lincolnwood property so drainage is directed properly on its established residential lots.

Replacing a home on a flat Lincolnwood lot changes drainage, and a topographic survey documents the existing grades so the new grading and drainage can be engineered and approved.
Ground elevations and contours plus the house, driveway, walks, trees and visible utility structures, delivered in CAD format.
No; a boundary survey defines property lines and a topographic survey maps elevations and features, and design projects often need both.
