IDesign Smarter: How AI Is Reshaping Architecture
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
magine you could describe a five-story apartment building in simple words and instantly see a 3D model you can explore through mixed reality.
At Texas A&M’s College of Architecture, researchers are working on making this future real. Thanks to funding by the National Science Foundation (NSF), they are creating new tools that combine artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and spatial reasoning.
Dr. Wei Yan, a professor and researcher, leads these projects in the Department of Architecture. Yan’s research team includes doctoral students leading their own projects.
Together, they are building new tools that are changing how architecture is taught and practiced.
Describe A Building, Then See It Appear
What if you could start designing a building just by typing a sentence?
That’s what Text-to-Visual Programming GPT (Text2VP) does. It’s a new generative AI tool made by doctoral student Guangxi Feng. Yan said that generative AI can already create text, images, videos and even 3D models from text prompts. Users can change the shape, size and layout without writing any code, guided by their architectural knowledge.
Normally, completing tasks in design software can take hours or days. Text2VP speeds up early design work, so designers can spend more time being creative instead of dealing with technical details.
Even though it’s still being developed, Yan said it could change the way students and professional designers start their projects.
Talk To Your Model, Get Instant Feedback
Doctoral student Farshad Askari created a chatbot that lets users “talk” to their 3D building models. After uploading a design, users can ask questions about its structure, layout or how well it works. The chatbot answers with text advice and
helpful pictures. It can even compare the models to industry standards or sustainability goals.
The chatbot uses trusted information in a knowledge base and a live view of the uploaded building model with GPT-4o Vision to act like a real-time design assistant.
Soon, it could read detailed building data and work with standard document types like Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), allowing even deeper design checks.
Teaching AI To Understand Space Like People Design isn’t just about shape and use. It also needs spatial intelligence: being able to picture, turn and move objects in 3D.
To study this problem, doctoral candidate Monjoree Uttamasha led an NSF-funded project testing AI models like ChatGPT, Llama and Gemini. They used the Revised Purdue Spatial Visualization Test, a common test for spatial intelligence.
+ Live & Virtual Training and Workshops
+ Custom Training Programs + Self-Paced Online Courses + Cohort-Based Learning Series + Speaking Engagements & Technical Assistance
Their study won Best Paper in the Computer Vision category at the 2025 IEEE Conference on AI.
The results were clear: without extra context, AI models often failed to notice how shapes rotated or changed in space. Human participants outperformed the AI by a wide margin. However, when given simple visual guides and math notations, the AI got a lot better. These findings show that AI can learn spatial thinking, but it needs more training with background information.
With the right help, AI tools can start to think more like human designers. Yan’s team sees this project, along with others in their lab, as a step toward improving AI technology and how design is taught.

$46.1 Million Approved to Build and Preserve Affordable Housing
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
The City of Austin Housing Department is excited to announce that more than $46.1 million has been approved by Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) Board meetings in April, May and September of this year for eight affordable housing developments in Districts 1, 3, 4, 7 and 9. The AHFC was created by the City of Austin as a nonprofit corporation to implement housing solutions to serve low- and moderate-income residents.
The funding from AHFC supports the Rental Housing Development Assistance (RHDA) program and will aid in the construction of 728 affordable rental units for households earning at or below 30-, 50- and 60-percent of the median family income (MFI). The units are expected to come online over the next several years. One of these communities are slated for District 1, two for District 3, one for District 4, one for District 7 and three for District 9.
“This investment is a major step in advancing Austin’s vision of safe, stable, and affordable housing in every part of our city,” says Deletta Dean, Director for the Housing Department.
“By building new communities and preserving existing ones, we can help residents stay
rooted and reduce displacement pressures that threaten neighborhood stability.”
Funding for construction of seven of these developments will be offset, in part, by federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, which is administered
in Austin
by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). These credits allow housing developers toto generate equity through a reduction of federal tax liability in exchange for building low-income rental housing projects.
“These developments are more than buildings—they’re commitments to families, seniors, and individuals who deserve affordable housing,”
says James May, Housing and Community Development Officer for the Housing Department. “With the support of local partners, developers, and community organizations, we are expanding opportunity and strengthening Austin’s neighborhoods for the long term.”

Lilly Plans to Build a New $6.5 Billion Facility to Manufacture Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in Texas
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
Eli Lilly and Company announced that it plans to build a new $6.5 billion manufacturing facility at Generation Park in Houston, Texas. This planned next-generation synthetic medicine active pharmaceutical product (API) facility, the second of four new U.S. sites Lilly will announce this year, is expected to be operational within five years.
Lilly will bring 615 new high-wage jobs to the Greater Houston area, including highly skilled engineers, scientists, operations personnel, and lab technicians. The company also expects to generate 4,000 construction jobs as the site is being built and brought online.
Importantly, the site will be among those that will manufacture orforglipron, Lilly's first oral, small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist, which the company expects to submit to global regulatory agencies for obesity by the end of this year.
Expanding Lilly's U.S. manufacturing footprint in Texas will boost the Houston economy. For every dollar Lilly spends in
the area, Lilly estimates up to an additional four dollars in local economic stimulation. Additionally, for every job created in manufacturing, several more will be created in related sectors such as supply chain, logistics and retail.
" Texas is the economic engine of America because we foster innovation and empower businesses to succeed,"
said Governor Greg Abbott.
"Texas is proud to welcome Lilly to Houston as they make one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing investments in our nation's history and provide good, high-paying jobs to hardworking Texans. With our highly skilled workforce, low taxes, and world-class, business-friendly climate, Texas is the best place for companies like Lilly to grow. This $6.5 billion facility will not only bolster Houston's economy, it will boost our life sciences sector and help cement Texas as a global leader in health care innovation."
Lilly plans to use state-of-the-art technologies including machine learning, AI, digitally integrated systems and advanced data analytics to drive right-first-time execution.
Digital automation will be embedded throughout the site to streamline operations and ensure a reliable supply of safe, high-quality medicines. To achieve this, the company will collaborate with local universities and invest in educational initiatives across Texas to build a strong pipeline of talent.
"With this new chemical synthesis facility, we are expanding our vital advanced pharmaceutical capabilities in the U.S. and setting a new global benchmark for innovation and technical leadership in our industry," said Edgardo Hernandez, executive vice president and president of Lilly Manufacturing Operations. "Additionally, we are committed to sustainability, being a responsible steward of natural resources, and strengthening the communities where our employees live and work."
Lilly selected Generation Park, a commercial development in the Lake Houston area northeast of the city, from more than 300 applications based on criteria including workforce potential, local incentives, access to utilities and transportation and a favorable business environment.

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
s Texas continues pushing forward with safer, more innovative intersections, the state has plenty of reasons to celebrate National Roundabouts Week.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has reported dramatic growth in the adoption of roundabouts and other nontraditional intersection designs in recent years. The agency has seen a significant increase in implementation of “innovative intersections.” At the same time, more than 90 roundabout locations are now in stages of planning or early design, and 27 roundabouts are already in detailed design in nine TxDOT districts across the state.
Embracing innovation to improve safety
Intersections remain a critical focus for traffic safety in Texas: nearly one-third of the state’s fatal and serious injury crashes occur at intersections.
TxDOT engineer Amanda Austin spearheads the roundabout effort. She’s part of an agency wide effort to build more roundabouts because not only are they more resilient during severe weather situations, but they can also be much safer compared to a typical traffic light intersection.
Roundabouts can reduce fatal intersection crashes by up to 90% compared to a typical traffic light by eliminating head-on and right-

angle collisions.
Other non-traditional designs also are part of the mix. For example, adding U-turns can cut fatal and injury crashes by up to 63% by restricting left turns from side streets.
“If we want to get to zero deaths on our roadways, we have to look at all kinds of different innovative approaches to reach that goal and roundabouts are certainly one way to do that,” Austin said.
National Roundabouts Week, Sept. 2226, is an initiative of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to highlight the safety benefits of roundabouts.
Texas already has an estimated 661 roundabouts in place, along with roughly 860 innovative intersections in total, and more are coming.

Selects ENGIE to Advance Unified Solar Power Strategy Across Texas
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
Daikin, a global leader in air conditioning manufacturing, announced today a five-year agreement with ENGIE North America to power all of the company’s Texas facilities with 100% renewable electricity, including the Daikin Texas Technology Park (DTTP), home to its largest manufacturing site and North American headquarters.
“This initiative represents a major step forward in aligning our operations with Daikin’s long-term sustainability goals,” said Mike Knights, Senior Vice President of Procurement at Daikin. “By working with ENGIE, a global leader in the energy transition, we’re securing clean electricity for our Texas operations while reinforcing our environmental responsibility goals. The initiative facilitates a transparent, traceable connection between operational energy use and a certified renewable energy source.”
Under the agreement, Daikin will source clean electricity
TxDOT hopes to raise awareness about how roundabouts work, how to drive them safely (including signage, yield rules, etc.), and why they can be better for safety, resiliency, traffic flow and long-term maintenance.
The road ahead
While the number of roundabouts in Texas continues to grow, designing and building them remains complex.
“There is a lot more to installing a roundabout than the simple circle would suggest,” Austin said. “You need it just big enough to accommodate trucks but not so big that people can drive too fast through it.”
TxDOT also emphasizes education—both for engineers and the public. Trainings on roundabout design, best practices and public outreach are part of ongoing efforts to ensure these innovations deliver on safety while minimizing unintended consequences.
During National Roundabouts Week, Texas is not just talking about safety innovations—it’s acting. With strong growth in roundabout development, new planning tools and increasing public engagement, the state is betting that these circular intersections will play a key role in reducing crashes and saving lives.

from the Impact Solar project in North Texas, which is owned and operated by a third party and has been in commercial operation since 2021. This relationship brings Daikin closer to its goal of making the DTTP a Net Zero Factory by 2030 and supports the company’s global Environmental Vision 2050.
“This agreement with Daikin underscores how industry leaders can advance global visions into tangible progress locally,” said Anne-Laure Chassanite, CEO of ENGIE Resources.
“We’re
proud to deliver renewable electricity from Impact Solar in support of Daikin’s operations in Texas.”
This milestone builds on Daikin’s recent installation of a solar array at DTTP, which powers the facility’s central chiller plant and supports grid integration. Together, these efforts reflect a broader strategy shaped by a two-year collaboration with ForeFront Power to evaluate energy usage, sustainability goals, and procurement planning. The result is a forward-looking approach that advances Daikin’s environmental goals while reinforcing its leadership in sustainable manufacturing and corporate responsibility within the HVAC industry.
“Our relationship with Daikin reflects the power of strategic energy planning and competitive solicitation processes to drive meaningful sustainability outcomes,” said Dr. Ruben Fontes, CEO of ForeFront Power. “Over the past two years, our Advisory Services team worked closely with Daikin to shape and execute on a comprehensive renewables procurement strategy that aligns with their Net Zero ambitions. We’re proud to have played a role in helping Daikin lead the way in responsible manufacturing and renewable energy adoption.”

GGovernor Abbott Announces Texas Energy Fund Loan To
721 MW Natural Gas Facility In Southeast Texas
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
overnor Greg Abbott today announced the third Texas Energy Fund (TxEF) loan agreement for a 721 megawatt (MW) natural gas power plant near Baytown. NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG) will build the plant, which is estimated to begin generating power by summer 2028 and will serve the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) power region.
"Texas continues to grow as more people choose to raise their families and build their businesses in the energy capital of the world,” said Governor Abbott. “This 721 MW investment in the Texas grid will ensure the state continues to meet and provide for this incredible growth with a robust, reliable supply of energy to power Texas homes and businesses.”
"The Texas Energy Fund is bringing reliable, affordable power to ERCOT’s fastest growing regions,” Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) Chairman Thomas Gleeson said. “With the 721 MW this new facility will add, the TxEF In-ERCOT Loan Program is already bringing 1,299 new MWs to the ERCOT grid – enough electricity to power hundreds of thousands of Texas homes and businesses, with more on the way.”
The loan agreement between the PUC and NRG is the third finalized under the TxEF’s In-ERCOT Generation Loan Program, which provides low-interest loans for projects that add new, dispatchable power to the ERCOT region. It is the second TxEF loan received by NRG. Under the loan agreement, total project costs are estimated to be $936 million. The PUC is providing a 20-year TxEF loan of $562 million, or 60% of the total project cost, at a 3% interest rate. The
“Development of the new unit at our Cedar Bayou power plant will generate significant construction jobs, and once online in 2028 will provide additional permanent jobs, enhanced grid stability and regional economic growth,”
said Executive Vice President, President of NRG Business and Wholesale Operations, Robert J. Gaudette. “We are grateful to Governor Abbott, the Texas Legislature, and the PUC for being great partners in helping power Texas forward as electricity demand surges.”
loan term runs from Sept. 26, 2025, through Sept. 25, 2045.
The natural gas generation facility is under construction at NRG’s existing Cedar Bayou Generating Station in Chambers County. The project will interconnect in the ERCOT Houston Load Zone, one of the largest electricity demand centers in Texas, which includes Houston, Pasadena, and Sugar Land, and is the fifth largest metropolitan area in the United States.
Under the loan agreement, the facility must meet minimum performance standards, as outlined in the In-ERCOT Generation Loan Program rules.
The TxEF is administered by the PUC through a competitive application process and rigorous financial review of proposed projects.
In addition to the three loan agreements already approved, there are currently 14 applications to the TxEF In-ERCOT Generation Loan Program moving through a due diligence review process. Together, the projects represent an additional 7,671 MW of proposed, new dispatchable generation for the ERCOT grid.

Tariffs were imposed during the 2018 to 2019 timeframe and as stated earlier, tariffs were a key part of the 2024 presidential campaign year so it was no secret that tariffs would occur. And because of this, we observed where some astute contractors also began hedging their position in late 2024 to mitigate the impact of increased costs of construction materials and longer lead items on imported equipment.
How can contractors better prepare themselves for the potential tariffs in the future?
so it was no secret that tariffs would occur. And because of this, we observed where some astute contractors also began hedging their position in late 2024 to mitigate the impact of increased costs of construction materials and longer lead items on imported equipment.
Q: How can contractors better prepare themselves for the potential tariffs in the future?
A: I have written articles about tariffs including “5 Impacts of Tariffs on Permitting for Contractors” where I shared tips to contractors on ways to be successful in permitting in a market with high and erratic tariffs. At this juncture in 4Q 2025, a significant amount of contractors have implemented a solution to stay resilient and to manage the effects of tariffs. One way that contractors can improve is to assess their project scopes and identify ways the project can be phased. Often, phasing projects, especially large capital projects, can save time, money and allow construction to start sooner.

Q: We're in the midst of a government shutdown. How does that change permitting? Does anything move during this time at all?
A: My next blog article titled “Navigating Local Permitting Issues During a Federal Shutdown: 5 Tips for Contractors” talks about the impact of the shutdown on developments that require federal environmental reviews and approvals to move forward. During this time, federal agencies’ staff are furloughed and when work in Washington resumes, then the wake effect occurs. This is a backlog of projects plus hundreds of pending applications going into the system that will further delay federal reviews for weeks and maybe months. Contractors are encouraged to do as much as they can in progressing local jurisdiction reviews, asking for conditional approvals where possible and definitely, reviewing project scopes and identifying how phase work in a manner that only requires local approvals. And as always with permitting, contractors should keep constant communications with local permitting centers, monitor the shutdown and be ready to re-engage quickly once Washington reopens.

A: As a business leader, it is important to control what you can control. And what you cannot control, identify and assess risks to project. Implement strategies and plans to mitigate future government chaos. Maintain proactive communications with key stakeholders and make sure to bring so-called bad news to light with project owners sooner than later.

THE PERMITTING PLAYBOOK V2.0 AFTER THE FED’S RATE CUT: WHAT CONTRACTORS SHOULD KNOW
By Helen Callier Contributing Writer
arlier this year, I laid out 5 permitting strategies for contractors to brace for a possible Fed rate cut in 2025 in this article “5 Construction Permitting Strategies to Prepare for a Possible Fed Rate Cut in 2025”.
Now that the Fed has finally delivered cutting rates by 25 basis points (bps), I thought it would be a good time to assess how the construction landscape can shift. In this article, I’ll share my thoughts on what the rate cut means for major capital projects and the impact on permitting and provide practical tips to maneuver wisely through permitting in this evolving environment.
Top economists from the Greater Houston Partnership often indicate that while rate cuts may be in the right direction to support the economy, the truth is that Fed rate cuts have a lag effect. If you’re in the bond market, then you’ll see a quick impact that is usually within a couple of weeks. For contractors and developers, the change in rate can take 6 to 18 months to trickle down.
Even though 25bps may be considered as not enough the write home about, what I have observed in prior economic cycles is that construction projects that had been placed on the back of the shelf by developers or project owners can now be dusted off (depending on project pro formas) and moved to the edge to be ready to go into design or permitting or into construction.
Why is this? Because 25bps is a signal to many industry experts like Forbes indicate that this is the beginning of a cycle of the Fed lowering rates. And while tariffs remain an issue, lower interest rates are mildly boosting confidence to move forward with certain construction projects.
Then the next challenge to tackle is speed to market which brings in permitting, inspections and Certificate of Occupancy
(CO). Below are five tips to assist architects, project owners, and contractors with permitting due to a shift in construction project financials.
1. Start Early: Often times there is an uptick in the workload in jurisdictions as projects that were already designed are pushed into permitting. Check with your local jurisdiction.
2. Hold Predevelopment Meetings: Putting your project on the jurisdiction’s radar helps to mitigate unnecessary delays, minimize confusion about project scope and to identify any changes with permitting ordinances and amendments that could derail your project.
3. Punt Making Assumptions: Assuming that the jurisdiction is using the latest building codes or that the design team has fully covered are mistakes that can impact permitting and your construction schedule.
4. Respond to Comments Timely: Read plan review comments when issued and if you have any questions, ask the Plan Reviewer to clarify or request a meeting.
5. Phase Projects to Start Construction Sooner: Phasing projects save time and knowing how scopes can be packaged for permitting is key for getting started and assists in completing construction on time.
That’s it for now. As the economy continues to shift with the Fed cutting rates, I will chime in from time to time to offer insights into obtaining permits in a timely manner so your client’s project can start sooner.

Hobby Airport’s Solar Canopy Now Producing 100% Clean Energy
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
The roof of the William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) Red Garage has a new job — generating clean, renewable power exclusively for the airport.
After years of planning, construction and rigorous utility requirements, the photovoltaic (PV) solar system is now fully operational and producing energy at 100% capacity, marking a major milestone in the airport system’s goal to reduce carbon emissions.
“This project is proof that sustainability can be practical, visible and directly tied to the passenger experience,” said Jim Szczesniak, director of aviation for Houston Airports.
“Passengers now park under a structure that
shields their cars from the Texas sun while generating clean energy that keeps airport operations running efficiently, lowering overall peak demand electrical costs during the day and our carbon footprint. It’s a win for travelers, the city and the planet.”
The system has already generated more than 1.1 gigawatt-hours of electricity while in test mode, with every watt staying at Hobby Airport to power daily operations. Now at full power, the system is set to produce up to 1 megawatt-hour. The double-cantilever canopies, designed to withstand hurricaneforce winds, also provide covered parking for passengers while turning unused rooftop space into a renewable energy asset.
The project was completed in partnership with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), whose experts led the design,
construction management and integration of the system into Hobby’s energy infrastructure, and CenterPoint Energy, which oversaw utility requirements and service agreements.
“This solar canopy project is more than just panels and steel — it’s a statement about the future we want for Houston,” said Houston City Council Member Joaquin Martinez.
“Right here in District I, in the neighborhoods I represent, Hobby Airport is now generating its own clean energy. That means lower costs, cleaner air, and a greener future for the families who live, work, and travel through here. As we prepare to welcome the world for events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup, this project shows that sustainability and worldclass service can go hand in hand.”
Part of a larger sustainability strategy
The solar canopy is one of several high-impact energy projects completed in recent years at Houston Airports. These include:
• A
• Installation of more than 20,000 LED light fixtures at IAH and HOU
• Solar photovoltaic arrays on new shading canopies
• Electrification of the airport fleet, including 25 all-electric Ford F-150 Lightnings
• Recycling nearly 100% of metal and concrete from major construction projects
Since 2019, these combined efforts have reduced emissions by 17% at IAH and 32% at HOU, earning both airports Level 3 Airport Carbon Accreditation from Airports Council International in 2025.

DART Celebrates Arrival of First New Buses that will Revitalize Entire Fleet
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has welcomed the first two buses of its new 476-bus fleet, marking a major milestone in DART Transform — a comprehensive modernization program designed to improve the customer experience across the entire transit network.
The new buses represent one of the first visible elements of DART Transform, which focuses on upgrading vehicles, stations, passenger
facilities, operating facilities, and creating a unified signaling system so DART can grow transit opportunities with the needs of its riders. Together, these improvements advance DART’s Point B Strategic Plan, which is focused on delivering fast, convenient and easy public transit, fantastic spaces utilized by the community and placing DART as a key mobility and economic asset to North Texas. Buses to pick up passengers later this fall
The arrival of the first two buses will allow DART’s maintenance and operations team to inspect and test the vehicles before full
production begins in October. Like its current fleet, the new buses will operate on compressed natural gas (CNG). These buses are being manufactured by California-based Gillig, one of only two bus manufacturers in the United States that build CNG buses and meet the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Buy America requirements.
DART was awarded a $103 million competitive grant from the FTA’s Low or No Emission Grant Program, which provides funding for the purchase of low-emission and no-emission transit buses. The grant helps
cover almost one third of the total cost of the buses, with DART saving an additional $15 million more by purchasing the 476 buses in one large order.
The agency is ordering 76 30-foot buses and 400 40-foot buses to align with ridership capacity needs. Once the full production is established, DART anticipates receiving 2030 buses per month with operators running the first routes later this fall, in mid- to lateNovember.
Customers can expect amenities like vinyl seating, new on-board passenger information displays in English and Spanish, tinted windows, and upgraded bike racks on the new Gillig buses.
Aging fleet nearing the end of its useful life
DART replaces its vehicles when they reach the end of their useful life. FTA defines useful life of a heavy-duty transit bus as 12 to 14 years or 500,000 miles, whichever comes first. DART’s 476 new buses will begin to replace the current aging fleet as each bus begins to reach the 500,000-mile or useful lifespan mark.
As the bus fleet has aged, reliability has decreased and maintenance has increased, including the most expensive repair categories like engine, HVAC, and transmission. The new buses will help lower the surge in maintenance and repair costs as well as make up for the shortage of parts for some of the oldest vehicles in the fleet.

Waco Crews Replace Highway Signs
By Subcontractors USA News Provider
New highway signs are up on I-35 thanks to a complex operation involving drones to get them in the air.
A handful of dynamic message signs reached the end of their shelf life recently, triggering the need for replacement in the Waco area.
With help from their neighbors in Fort Worth, TxDOT Waco crews set out to perform the complex operation of putting
up new ones. This proved to be a sterling example of the inhouse talent at TxDOT.
“This project was a significant opportunity for the Waco District to demonstrate our capability to handle equipment replacements in-house, provided we plan meticulously,” said Oscar Ramirez, TxDOT’s lead on the project. “I believe this sets a precedent for others within TxDOT to take on
similar projects, ultimately enhancing (these) structures across the state and improving our communication with the public.”
These signs are incredibly heavy (more than 2,000 pounds), hang over interstate traffic, and require specialized skills to dismount and replace.
TxDOT crews got to work formalizing an operation to replace four of these signs, three on I-35, and one on I-14.
With methodical planning and cooperation that included drones, the operation was a resounding success, and most importantly, safe.
“The team truly excelled in the field as we were able to replace these signs safely and efficiently,” Ramirez said.
The drones helped the crew control traffic, whether that was from drivers on the interstate or their own personnel and equipment. This included where the crane was placed and where TxDOT personnel parked.
TxDOT uses highway signs to display safety and emergency information to drivers.
