3 Best Land Surveyors in Chicago (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 7 min read

Land surveyors in Chicago are the difference between a permit application that clears and one that stalls for weeks over a disputed property line. Two of the firms here hold a 4.9-star average, and between them the group has logged 126 Google reviews, so the real question when hiring is less about who is good and more about who has the licensed bench for your specific job, whether that is a boundary plat, a topographic map, or a full ALTA survey.

Short answer: Andrew Spiewak Land Surveyor and MM Surveying Co., Inc. are tied at the top with 4.9 stars each, while Pi Surveying PLLC carries the deepest review base at 62 ratings. Each is a land-focused firm handling boundary, plat, and ALTA survey work across the Chicago area. None publish a standard price list, so get a written quote before the survey starts.

Andrew Spiewak Land Surveyor

4.947 Google reviews

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Chicago surveyors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on dozens of reviews carries more weight than one built on a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a land survey cost in Chicago? (2026)

Chicago-area survey pricing depends heavily on lot size, whether the parcel has been surveyed before, and how quickly you need results. None of the surveyors on this page publish a general price list, so treat the figures below as general national guidance rather than a Chicago-specific quote.

Serving the Chicago area

The surveyors above cover Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including Park Ridge, Oak Brook, and Lincolnwood, with several also reaching into DuPage, Lake and Cook Counties. Searching for a land surveyor near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a land surveyor

Is the survey a boundary survey, an ALTA/NSPS survey, or a topographic survey, and which does your permit or closing require?
Are you licensed to practice land surveying in Illinois?
What is the typical turnaround time for a plat, and can you rush it if needed?
Will the plat be delivered digitally, by mail, or both?
Does the quote include monumentation, or is that a separate line item?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these land surveyors?

We started from land surveyors in Chicago with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How long does a land survey take in Chicago?

Turnaround varies by firm and job complexity, but reviewers report some plat surveys completed and delivered within about a week. Rush service is available from several firms on this page for time-sensitive closings or permits.

The bottom line

For a genuine property or boundary survey, Andrew Spiewak and MM Surveying are the safest defaults on reputation and track record, while Pi Surveying carries the deepest review base for larger Chicagoland jobs.
