Why Choose Us

Carradus Land Surveying is a family owned and operated business that takes pride in providing quality products at a competitive price.  We have spent the last 40 years building a reputation for honest and accurate work and our goal is to uphold that precedent every day.

Carradus Land Surveying was founded in 1981 and has been a part of a large scope of projects over the last thirty years.  Some of these projects include topographic surveys, site development for single buildings as well as larger subdivisions, construction layout, project management consulting, consolidation plats, annexation plats, easement plats, FEMA elevation evaluations, along with residential and commercial boundary and ALTA/NSPS surveys.   With the experience that comes with compiling over 35,000 projects in the past 40 years, our company has an extensive database to draw knowledge from when completing projects today. 

Although technology has changed some of the ways we perform our surveys, we have not changed our focus in the way we do business.  We at Carradus strive to provide our clients with a quality and reliable service that is second to none.  Whether it is a homeowner, contractor, attorney, title company representative or a municipal employee, we treat our clients with the respect and professional courtesy that we feel they deserve.   

Mission Statement

Established in 1980, Carradus Land Survey is a family-owned business, continuing on with the next generation of family leadership. Our commitment to the fundamental principles on which we were founded has never wavered. Those principals include honesty, hard work, quality products and exceptional service, all of which continue to guide our operations today.

Cad Department

All of our surveying and engineering drawings are prepared at our Carol Stream Office by our experienced full time staff. Survey Plats and engineering drawings adhere to our strict standards and practices established over the decades; thusly information is displayed consistently regardless of the Cad Tech that created the drawings. Our director of the Cad Department has been with us for over 20 years, advancing from a part time high school student, learning the intricacies of the profession to become a seasoned and knowledgeable draftsman. 

Survey Field Crews

Our field crews consist of highly trained individuals dedicated to providing our licensed surveyors with accurate and precise field data. Our field crew teams are taught the principals of Land Surveying and the importance of thorough and accurate field work. They are instructed on how to work as a 2 or 3 person team to efficiently gain the data that is required for each project, and the value of the data they have obtained in determining the true property boundaries. Our personnel are not paid a set fee per job as some companies, but are paid hourly, thus, no corners are cut and our crews invest whatever time is necessary to provide our clients a correct and thorough survey, for the price quoted regardless of the time involved to do the job right. 


We are fortunate to have some of the most knowledgeable field personnel in this business, dedicated to getting the job done right. Most of our field crew members have started with us at the entry level position, and have been promoted within the company as they have advanced in knowledge and experience over time. Unlike some other companies who direct their employees to simply push buttons on equipment with little or no guidance, with our firm you will get career oriented personnel, all who report to our Carol Stream Office daily, all part of a team that is educated in Land Surveying, and dedicated to get the job done right. 

Engineering Department

All engineering design and drawings are performed by our experienced full time professional engineer and staff. Our design staff has a combined experience of roughly 60 years of creating plans and studies in grading, drainage, and underground utilities, for clients such as builders, developers, municipalities and homeowners. We have searched out professionals that find the value in providing plans that portray the required data with an almost artistic flair. This results in a consistent format that is easy to follow and understand, even for the novice.

I simply could not find surveyors that offered all the tools and expertise I needed under one surveyor team. The Carradus Land Survey team provided it all, expertise, knowledge, customer service, and accessibility to needed services that went above and beyond expectations!
