Which organization is responsible for approving the Geodetic Control Work Plan before the project starts?

The key point is that theapproval of geodetic control plans rests with the national authority that manages the official reference framework for surveys. NAMRIA, the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, maintains the geodetic control network and sets the standards for how surveys tie to the national datum. By approving the Geodetic Control Work Plan before fieldwork begins, NAMRIA ensures that coordinates, reference points, and tie-ins to the official map framework are consistent across projects, which prevents misalignment in design and construction. Other agencies like DPWH, LGU, or DENR have important roles in their respective domains, but they do not authorize geodetic control plans.
