The Work Plan along with the sketch plan of the project site shall be forwarded to which agency for approval before commencement?

• A. DPWH
• B. NAMRIA
• C. DOH
• D. DENR

Answer: (B)

Plans of the project site must be checked against official geospatial data before work begins. NAMRIA, the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, handles mapping, surveying, and land information, and is the appropriate body to review and approve the Work Plan and sketch plan of the site. This approval ensures the project footprint, boundaries, and features are accurately represented on official maps and aligned with national geospatial standards, preventing errors and encroachments. Other agencies manage different aspects of projects—DPWH oversees design and construction, DOH addresses health considerations, and DENR handles environmental concerns—but they do not serve as the geospatial approval authority for site plans.
