When you need a Geodetic Engineer

Relocation survey

Re-establishment of titled boundaries on the ground with corner monuments set, for disputes, fencing and pre-purchase checks.

Subdivision survey

Division of a titled property into separately titled lots, with the plan processed for DENR/LRA approval, for inheritance and partial sales.

Topographic survey

Contours, elevations and site features in PRS92 for house construction, site development and drainage design.

Land titling survey

Approved plans and technical descriptions for free patent applications and judicial titling of untitled land.

Land surveying and Southern Leyte

In Southern Leyte, surveying demand rests on a coconut and abaca farming economy paired with coastal fishing, with copra and abaca fiber remaining the mainstays of rural income across upland towns like St. Bernard and Tomas Oppus. Titles are registered with the Registry of Deeds of the province in Maasin City under the Land Registration Authority, while the city and municipal assessors handle tax mapping and the DENR approves public land and cadastral surveys throughout Eastern Visayas. Every plan must be signed and sealed by a PRC-licensed Geodetic Engineer and referenced to PRS92. Lot and subdivision surveys of farm and residential parcels, relocation and verification surveys, and topographic surveys for building permits are the constant demand in the province.

Common problems in Southern Leyte

  • Boundaries that don't match the title: Long-standing occupation drifts from the technical description over the years. A relocation survey re-establishes the corners on the ground before a sale, a partition or a fence becomes a dispute.
  • Untitled land in long occupation: Land held for decades without a title needs the survey and the plan before a free patent or a judicial application can even be filed.

Will the survey be accepted by the DENR and the Registry of Deeds?+
Yes. Plans are referenced to PRS92 / PTM (EO 45, s. 1993), signed and dry-sealed by the GE, and prepared for verification and approval through the DENR Land Management Services and the Registry of Deeds under the Torrens system (PD 1529).
How long does it take?+
For a typical residential lot, fieldwork is done in 1–2 days and the plan is delivered in a few working days. DENR verification and approval timelines depend on the office concerned.
Does the surveyor have to be PRC-licensed?+
Yes. Under RA 8560, as amended, only Geodetic Engineers registered and licensed by the PRC may sign and seal survey plans, and the DENR, the LRA and the Registry of Deeds accept nothing less. Any license can be verified at prc.gov.ph.
