When you need a Geodetic Engineer in the Philippines
The Profession
RA 8560, as amended by RA 9200
The Philippine Geodetic Engineering Act of 1998 reserves the practice of geodetic engineering (including land, subdivision and relocation surveys) to Geodetic Engineers registered and licensed by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). Survey plans must be signed and sealed by a licensed GE to be accepted by government agencies.
Survey Approval
DENR, Land Management Bureau
Survey returns for original surveys, relocation surveys and subdivisions of untitled land are submitted to the DENR Land Management Bureau or the regional Land Management Services for verification and approval, under the revised regulations on land surveys (DAO 2007-29). Plans must be referenced to PRS92.
Titles & Registration
PD 1529 · LRA · Registry of Deeds
The Property Registration Decree governs the Torrens system. Original registration requires a survey plan by a licensed Geodetic Engineer approved by the DENR; subdivision and consolidation plans of titled land are verified and approved before the Registry of Deeds issues new certificates of title.
Does your fence match your title? Discrepancies between the technical description on the title and the actual occupation on the ground are common in the Philippines, and they stall sales, bank loans, estate settlements and building permits. A relocation survey by a licensed Geodetic Engineer establishes where your boundaries really are, before a dispute turns into a court case.

// Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the surveyor have to be a licensed Geodetic Engineer?+
Yes. Under RA 8560, as amended by RA 9200, only Geodetic Engineers registered and licensed by the PRC may practice geodetic engineering in the Philippines. The DENR, the LRA and the Registry of Deeds will not accept survey plans that are not signed and sealed by a licensed GE. You can verify a license through the PRC's online verification service.
How much does a land survey cost in the Philippines?+
Professional fees vary with the lot area, the terrain, the type of survey, and the province. Request a free quotation and you will receive an exact price in pesos within 24 hours, with no obligation.
What is PRS92 and why does it matter for my documents?+
The Philippine Reference System of 1992 (PRS92) is the standard reference system for all surveys in the country, adopted under Executive Order No. 45, s. 1993, and materialized by the geodetic control network of NAMRIA and the DENR. Survey plans submitted for DENR verification and approval must be referenced to PRS92; plans on old or local reference systems can be rejected or returned for correction.
How long does a survey take?+
For a residential lot of up to 1,000 sqm, fieldwork typically takes half a day, and plans are delivered within about a week. If the plan needs DENR verification and approval, as with relocation and subdivision surveys, government processing adds time that varies by office. Your Geodetic Engineer will give you a realistic timeline with the quotation.
Is the quotation really free?+
Yes, and it carries no obligation. Send the property details and you will receive a price and schedule within 24 hours. Nothing is charged for the quotation.
