Nova for Urban Planning
Cut CLUP turnaround in half, bill more clients.
Most planning firms spend 60 to 70% of their time on document production: drafting, formatting, and cross-referencing CLUP requirements against the DHSUD guidebook and EO 72. Nova builds AI that handles that work, so your environmental planners focus on the actual planning, and your firm takes on more contracts with the same headcount.
The problem
Document production is the bottleneck.
A full CLUP runs to the HLURB standard timeline of more than 18 months, and most of that is documentation, not analysis. Every hour your EnPs spend formatting and cross-referencing is an hour they are not planning, or bidding on the next contract.
A large share of LGUs are working with an outdated CLUP and owe an update under EO 72 and the DHSUD guidebook. The demand for consultants is steady, but a three-to-five-person firm cannot take on more ₱1M-plus mandates without more staff. That gap, between what a firm can win and what it can deliver, is where projects stall.
What we build
What AI automates for your firm.
Every system is built around your firm's actual CLUP workflow: your templates, your LGU clients, your submission formats. Not a generic tool you have to adapt to.
CLUP section drafting
AI writes the first draft of every section: land use, zoning, hazard exposure, climate vulnerability, infrastructure. Formatted to DHSUD and HLURB templates and ready to review, not to start from a blank page.
Hazard-data integration
Pulls and interprets MGB, PHIVOLCS, and PAGASA data layers automatically, and folds the hazard exposure into your assessment sections. No more manual cross-referencing of government datasets.
CLUP compliance checks
Cross-references every section against the DHSUD Enhanced CLUP Guidebook and the EO 72 / RA 7160 requirements, and flags the gaps before submission, not after the LGU sends it back. Compliance issues surface in minutes, not days.
Land-use analysis
Reads your GIS layers and generates land-classification narratives, zoning tables, and land-use intensity sections, formatted and ready to drop into your report structure.
Standard annex generation
Every CLUP needs a set of standard annexes. AI generates them from your data, so the hours that went to formatting per report go back to the work that wins the next one.
Tool integration
Connects to the software your firm already runs: GIS platforms, project-management tools, and LGU portals. Nova plugs in where you work instead of asking you to rip out your stack.
The process
How it works, in three steps.
Every engagement starts with your specific CLUP workflow. We build around what you already do, not a generic system you have to bend yourself around.
Free CLUP workflow audit: we map your current production process, which steps eat the most time, where compliance gaps slip through, and what your team wishes was automated. Thirty minutes, no pitch.
Build around your workflow: we build the AI around your templates, your GIS tools, and your LGU clients. You test it on a real CLUP section before committing, with success metrics defined up front.
Deliver, support, and update: every system ships with monitoring. When DHSUD updates its guidelines or your templates change, we update the AI, with priority support during LGU submission deadlines.
The honest numbers.
Directional figures from the model and the HLURB standard, not a contract. We benchmark your firm's current workload before we promise anything.
- 60 to 70%
- Of a planning firm's time spent on document production, not analysis
- ~50%
- Typical cut to CLUP turnaround once the document-heavy phases are automated
- 2x
- More contracts a firm can handle with the same headcount
- ₱2M
- Average CLUP contract value, so more throughput is more revenue
Built on what we run ourselves.
We run our own operations on AI, one small team delivering like a firm five times its size. We are building the same thing for Philippine planning firms.
We built a fully automated operating system for our own business: marketing, operations, customer service, and reporting, all running without added headcount.
The firms that adopt this first will finish reports faster, take on more contracts, and out-bid competitors who are still doing it by hand.
Nova Solutions is Philippines-based AI consulting, built by the team that runs its own operations on AI. We build around your workflow, not a template farm.
Free CLUP workflow audit, 30 minutes.
Send your CLUP shapefile or your LGU name. We map your production process, benchmark it against the DHSUD Enhanced CLUP Guidebook and EO 72 checklist, and return a gap report within five days. No pitch, no obligation.
