Founded in Central Texas. Built for every jurisdiction.
Entitlement is local everywhere, but the questions are the same: what applies, who decides, what to do next and what it is worth. We start in Central Texas and are building toward the rest of the United States, Singapore and Indonesia.
Our markets
Three markets, one model.
United States
Central Texas first: Hays, Travis and Williamson counties, then outward state by state.
Singapore
One national planning system with detailed published controls. A clear model for parcel-level rules.
Indonesia
National reforms moved approvals online, while each regency and city sets its own detailed spatial plan.
United States · starting in Central Texas
Thousands of local rulebooks.
The US has more than 90,000 local governments. Many write their own land rules, and a single parcel can answer to several of them.
| Step | What it is | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | City limits, ETJ or county, plus utility and water districts | Each body, for its own rules |
| Zoning and platting | Use, density and a legal lot | City or county; council or commissioners court for some |
| Environmental | Aquifer, floodplain, drainage, protected land | State agencies and local floodplain administrators |
| Utilities | Water, wastewater or septic, power, fire flow | Utilities and the county septic program |
| Site and building permits | Site plan, then building permit and inspections | City or county development services |

One national system, detailed controls.
Planning is national and well documented, which makes parcel-level rules clear. The work is in coordinating agencies and keeping up with change.

Indonesia · building toward
National reform, local plans.
Since 2021, approvals have moved onto a national online system, while each regency and city sets its own detailed spatial plan. More than 500 local governments apply it.

| Spatial plan | The regency or city detailed spatial plan (RDTR) | Regency or city government |
| Spatial conformity | Confirmation that the use fits the spatial plan (KKPR) | Through the national OSS system |
| Environmental approval | Persetujuan Lingkungan, through AMDAL, UKL-UPL or SPPL depending on impact | Environmental authorities |
