ᐅ Approval of the rough site survey report: who is responsible for this?

Hello everyone,

We have a conflict where the parties involved (surveyor, architect, construction manager) have different opinions.

The surveyor (or one of his employees) carried out the rough staking and now wants written approval of the staking report. The rough staking protocol includes a signature line. Only after this written approval will he perform the fine staking.

Neither the architect nor the construction manager want to countersign and instead require the surveyor to approve it (self-inspection).

The question is: who is responsible for approving the rough staking report? Is there a common or clear regulation?

Thank you very much for your support and best regards,
Martin

THANK YOU for the numerous replies and assessments!
I also had the feeling that the surveyor wanted to cover himself.
Nobody wants to take responsibility for anything anymore, which is unfortunate.
I will check the rough staking and discuss this with the construction management, then sign as the client.
As it looks, everything is fine, and the surveyor cannot evade his responsibility by simply signing.
Best regards
