Winnetka is a North Shore village of established estates and mature landscapes, where renovation and additions on large wooded lots are common. Working within significant existing grades demands accurate elevation data. A topographic survey documents the contours, features and drainage so design respects the property and its setting.
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.
Winnetka has roughly 12,500 residents and lies within New Trier Township in northern Cook County, near Lake Michigan. Its recorded surveys and easement records are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The village drains toward the Chicago River system and, in places, toward the lake, so stormwater control on estate lots depends on accurate grades. Topographic surveys give architects and engineers the elevation base needed to manage runoff and siting during renovation and expansion.
