What the statuses mean
TDLR is the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the state agency that registers commercial and public construction projects for accessibility review; its records are registrations, not building permits or inspections.
TDLR project registration: a state filing required for commercial and public construction over a cost threshold. It means a project was submitted for accessibility review, not that it was built.
Project Registered: the source records the filing as received and registered with TDLR. It says nothing about plan review, construction or occupancy.
Review Complete: the source records that TDLR’s plan review of the filing has been completed. It is not a building permit, an inspection result or proof the work was built.
TABS prefix: the number TDLR assigns to a registration in its Texas Architectural Barriers System. It identifies the record and does not describe the project.
Every other status is shown exactly as the source reports it, without interpretation.
Civil site development and Core and Shell building for an advanced manufacturing facility. One building comprised of 4 areas - Office, Factory, Casting, and Utility Plant.

Compiled from the shared research database powering Zabalist and Austin Texas Things. The website reads only public filing fields. No owner contacts or personal details are included.
TABS State Projects — All 254 Texas Counties. Last database sync reported: Nov 7, 2026. Source synced within the last 7 days.
Austin Site Plans — City of Austin Development Applications. Last database sync reported: Nov 7, 2026. Source synced within the last 7 days.
Project registrations and site plans describe different processes and may refer to the same development. Never add these totals together. Records are matched by the ZIP written on the filing. A filing with a missing or mistyped ZIP will not appear here, so a low count is not evidence of low activity.
Source reporting delays, missing addresses, withdrawn projects and later amendments can affect results. The database read date is not the date the government source last changed. Public filings do not establish neighborhood quality, safety, school suitability or future property values.
