Texas Law Now 

Provides Choice, 

Diversity in Housing 

By Phil Crone, Executive Officer, Dallas Builders Association 

Area homebuyers grappling with affordability 

challenges and lack of diversity in housing 

choices now have significant relief thanks 

to the Texas legislature. HB 2439 passed by 

overwhelming majorities in the House (133 to 

9) and Senate (26 to 5) became effective on 

September 1, 2019. 

The law prevents local governments from 

enforcing regulations that artificially make 

housing less attainable for working families by 

forcing them to choose more expensive products 

in the design and construction of their homes. 

HB 2439 also helps local material suppliers 

and contractors who were previously limited or 

prohibited from doing business in some of the 

area’s fastest growing cities. 

In the hearings that preceded the bill’s passage, 

much of the opposing testimony came from 

suppliers and contractors who contended their 

business depended on local product mandates. 

Testimony in favor of the bill came from those 

whose business was correspondingly crippled by 

them. 

Housing advocates noted that these zoning 

restrictions disproportionately impact groups 

with lower median incomes struggling to 

afford the wealth-creating opportunities 

of homeownership. Additionally, consumer 

preferences for housing were, in many cases, out 

of step with officials who inaccurately stigmatize 

less expensive products. 

Sound policy must promote diversity, not 

exclusion. Intended or not, the result of these 

restrictions has as much to do with who can 

afford to live in the home as they do with what 

products go on the home. The ultimate form of 

local control is what you as a consumer get to 

choose. After all, it’s your home, it should be your 

decision so long as safety standards remain in 

line with code requirements. 

Specifically, HB 2439 prohibits a governmental 

entity from enforcing a regulation prohibiting, 

directly or indirectly, the use or installation of a 

product or standard permitted in the last three 

code cycles. The law applies to residential and 

commercial buildings, new construction and 

remodeling. This will encompass all existing or 

proposed restrictions in base zoning, planned 

development (PD) districts or any density 

and zoning incentives that favor the use of a 

particular product or construction method. 

The legislature carved out specific exceptions for 

homes located in historic districts and potentially 

conflicting standards for federal or state 

funding such as the Texas Windstorm Insurance 

Association. Also exempt are locally designated 

historic or conservation districts established prior 

to April 1, 2019. 


Municipalities that are a certified local 

government under the National Historic 

Preservation Act or have an applicable 

landmark ordinance that meets Texas Historical 

Commission standards are not subject to the 

new law. Under the Texas Local Government 

Code, cities, such as Dallas, that meet these 

qualifications continue to have broad latitude 

to regulate the appearance of areas deemed 

to be historically, culturally or architecturally 

significant. Other exceptions, pertaining to 

outdoor lighting, were added to address concerns 

from military and scientific interests. 

Like many new laws, the exact parameters of HB 

2439 are not entirely clear and may not be until 

they are tested in the legal arena. Other than 

an aggrieved party filing suit, the law allows the 

attorney general to stop a violation or threatened 

violation and recover related attorney’s fees and 

court costs. 

The outright product mandates via zoning and 

PD are quite clearly not allowed. Less obvious 

is at what point a performance or installation 

standard becomes onerous enough that a 

product is essentially prohibited or limited 

and the law is invoked. For example, our area’s 

current energy code air leakage standard can be 

attained with foam or batt insulation. Making that 

more stringent would effectively mandate foam. 

The law also references aesthetic methods, so 

some think that may impact items such as garage 

locations and front facade projections. Code is 

largely silent on those, so they are likely outside 

the scope of HB 2439. Arm’s length development 

agreements and HOA restrictive covenants are 

also not covered. Quite a bit of these things will 

be negotiated contractually between parties. 

Many cities never enacted exclusionary 

restrictions on housing products yet still offer 

diverse neighborhoods and homes that are 

desirable and attainable. Now, these same 

choices are opening similar doors for thousands 

of families seeking access to great communities 

and schools.

GOVERNMENT 

CONTRACTING 

Is it for you? 

Make sure to include the Government in your target audience 

The U.S. government is the largest single purchaser of goods and services in the world. Every year it 

awards more than $500 billion in contracts. Of those prime contracts, the federal government must set 

aside 23 percent for small businesses. This includes: 

• 5 percent for small disadvantaged businesses 

• 5 percent for women-owned small businesses 

• 3 percent for HUBZone-certified small businesses 

• 3 percent for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses 

The federal government sets aside contracts for small business, and these certification programs are 

designed to help you compete for and win federal contracts. Listed below are the programs and links 

to get further information. 

All Small Mentor-Protege Program 

Looking for an opportunity to partner with a more experienced firm for mentorship? You may find that 

effort rewarded in the All Small Mentor-Protege Program. At the same time you’re gaining invaluable 

direction and experience, you and your mentor can compete for government contracts, further growing 

your business. Visit https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-assistance-programs/allsmall-mentor-protege-program 

for additional information. 

8(a) Business Development Program

Besides Federal Contracts SBA, also, has surety bonds for small businesses. Surety bonds help 

small businesses win construction, supply and service contracts by providing the customer with a 

guarantee the work will be completed. Many contracts require surety bonds, which are offered by 

surety companies. The SBA guarantee provides an incentive for surety companies to work with small 

businesses that would normally not be able to obtain the bond. Eligible small businesses can receive 

the bonding assistance necessary to compete for contracting and subcontracting jobs using the Surety

Dallas 

Can’t Keep 

Succeeding 

By Phil Crone, Executive Officer, 


in Spite 

of Itself 

Dallas and surrounding areas have obviously 

experienced remarkable growth over the last few 

years, especially with commercial construction 

and multifamily. Residential development 

struggles to keep pace with builders primarily 

focusing on infill lots and small scale shared 

access projects. Dallas permitted just over 2,000 

homes last year. 

Dallas is also not exempt from the impact of 

rising housing costs. It is well documented that 

the city needs 20,000 affordable housing units. In 

the single-family context, new affordable housing 

needs to be priced around $250,000 to $350,000. 

Getting there is especially difficult in Dallas with 

land prices and, in some cases, neighborhood 

opposition to new affordable homes. 

While some factors are out of our control, we 

need to take ownership of what we can. The 

stakes are too high not to. Homeownership 

remains the number one path to wealth creation 

for the American family, and the attainability 

of that dream here in DFW remains a primary 

impetus to job creation. However, for too many 

people homeownership is becoming less 

attainable, the drive to work is getting longer 

and the options for safe, quality homes at a 

reasonable price are getting fewer. 

16 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM 

A major barrier to affordable housing in Dallas 

is the city itself. Development processes are not 

operating as efficiently and effectively as they 

should. Attempts to build attainable housing suffer

disproportionately from these unforced errors. 

This is not a new issue. Builders, developers and 

small business owners have bemoaned Dallas’s 

lack of transparency and predictability for years, 

yet Dallas has succeeded in spite of itself. 

Staff have to balance property owner desires with 

the public good while grappling with turnover and 

incomplete submittals from those not familiar 

with the city’s processes. They must do all of this 

without losing sight of their primary objective of 

protecting public safety. 

No place is this problem more evident than at 

the Oak Cliff Municipal Center, where a majority 

of these processes take place. There you will 

find a few familiar faces hanging around for 

hours each day. These people do not work for 

the city (some of them used to), but they have 

the expertise needed to navigate the tangled web 

that is the review and permitting process. “Dallas 

is different,” they say. I say, it’s time to change 

“Dallas is different” into “Dallas is better.” 

That goal is infinitely more easily stated than 

achieved. First, we need the city council fully 

committed to improving performance and fully 

supportive of city staff’s efforts to increase 

predictability, transparency, efficiency and 

effectiveness. Past efforts failed to achieve this 

level of synergy and, accordingly, never made it 

beyond the planning/wishful thinking phase. 

Focus should then turn to the pre-development 

phase of the review process. This requires 

extensive interdepartmental communication and 

coordination particularly with engineering, fire, 

water and building inspections. 

The current landscape is littered with silos 

that need to be toppled by a combination 

of technology and a project management 

team empowered to provide comprehensive 

feedback on how to enhance pre-development 

functions. The group should espouse a culture 

of collaboration with the overall goal of ensuring 

that outcomes are reliable, efficient and wellcommunicated; 

responding appropriately when 

they are not. 

The scale of workforce required to run an 

organization the size of the City of Dallas 

presents inherent communication and 

coordination challenges. As do nearly 1,000 

planned development districts, each with their 

own set of zoning regulations. 

All of these factors explain, but do not excuse the 

current situation. Residential developers in Dallas 

go into a project with no idea how long approvals 

will take or how expensive unexpected surprises 

will be along the way. This is not the case in 

many surrounding cities. Even ones with tough 

regulations. 

Unlike many other cities, Dallas has a 

commitment to and policy for facilitating 

affordable and attainable homeownership. 

Successfully installing the comprehensive 

housing policy playbook first involves getting the 

fundamentals right. The proverbial “blocking and 

tackling” in the housing context are development 

processes that are predictable, transparent, 

efficient and effective. 

To this point, Dallas may have succeeded in spite 

of itself, but it has not succeeded in providing 

sufficient housing options for those who need 

it most. With leadership from council, staff 

expertise and industry input we can get to the 

point where we say “Dallas is better.” When we do, 

thousands of working families will finally be able 

to say “Dallas is home.”

NAWIC: BUILDING 

COMMUNTIY 

The National Association of Women in Construction 

(NAWIC) is an association of women founded 

upon the idea of creating a support network for 

tradeswomen – building a community with the core 

purpose of strengthening and amplifying the success 

of women in the construction industry. In order to 

serve this purpose, we do our best to keep our fingers 

on the pulse of the industry in order to address the 

“pain points” – the areas requiring new approaches to 

keep us relevant in an ever-changing world. 

One of the largest issues facing the construction 

industry today is the skills gap – we simply don’t 

have enough skilled workers entering the trades to 

fill the available positions and meet industry demand. 

A huge source of potential for filling that gap is the 

largely untapped resource of today’s youth. Why is 

that resource untapped? One of the key contributing 

factors is that trades simply aren’t being shared with 

youth as viable, profitable and respectable paths for 

their futures. 

“The desire to build is primal to what it means to 

be human. Something good happens to a person’s 

soul when they work with their hands in the raw 

elements of earth, wood and metal…But something 

has been lost (or at least retreated to the shadows), 

and the current culture does not esteem or 

reward tradecraft as much as it used to.” Hayes, 

Jeremiah. “Two Techniques to Connect the Next 

Generation to the Trades.” Construction Executive, 

18 September, 2019, https://constructionexec. 

com/article/two-techniques-to-connect-the-nextgeneration-to-the-trades 

So how can we help to restore what has been lost in 

our current culture when it comes to how the trades 

are seen, while still meeting our core purpose of 

enhancing the success of women in the construction 

industry? I think that most of us can agree that 

improving perception of what we do and bolstering 

success of our industry as a whole is vital to 

enhancing our own successes. A key way to achieve 

this goal is through mentorship. In supporting young 

people looking to enter the trades, we create a new 

generation of both young men in the industry who 

recognize our viability in the field and young women 

who see the potential for their own futures. 

This is an integral part of what NAWIC does. We 

show girls and young women that they have a place 

in the industry, that being a tradeswoman is an 

honorable and viable career option, and that there are 

women in the workforce who are willing to mentor 

them and help them get their boots under them in 

a world where the ground can often be rocky and 

uncertain to start. More than that, we offer a place for 

them to turn for continued networking throughout 

their careers. 

Another huge “pain” point in the industry is 

technology and the requisite continued education 

to stay on top of current trends and skills. Thus, in 

addition to mentorship and networking, NAWIC 

offers education, training, and certification. Our 

committees provide webinars to help members learn 

more about specific areas of interest, and our partner 

and sponsor companies also often offer webinars and 

in-person training opportunities to our members. 

We have also established the NAWIC Education 

Foundation (NEF), which provides – in addition to 

several exciting and innovative programs for children 

ages K-12 – adult education and certification 

programs that are recognized by the American 

Council for Construction Education (ACCE). 

By offering our members opportunities for 

professional development, education, networking, 

leadership training, public service and more, NAWIC 

not only creates a support network to enhance the 

success of our members, but also builds community 

and champions women to impact the direction of the 

construction industry as a whole.

technologies and sales systems do you adopt? Does social media really produce opportunity in construction sales? 

Where do you put your sales time and attention? These are all great questions and will be answered. 

• What new technologies should I incorporate 

• What truly works in construction sales

Common Construction Sales Mistakes 

THURSDAY :: 9:30AM - 11:00AM 


Many in the construction industry consistently make the same mistakes that kill their opportunity. There are many common errors 

and mentalities that hinder sales success. We’ll put a light on these problems and give the behaviors that counter them. Make 

sure your approach to the customer base is the most effective possible. 

These errors are often made without the contractor even realizing they’re making them. This cripples their chances of winning 

profitable projects.

Impact of Social Media & Brand Identity 

WEDNESDAY :: 11:30AM - 12:30PM 

Target Audience: All Building and Construction Professionals 

Mastering Social Media is on the top of the agenda for almost all business executives. They are constantly working to identify ways in 

which their firms can make profitable use of the popular Social Media platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. 

Consumers traditionally use Social Media and the Internet to simply expend content: they read it, watch it, and use it to make 

informative buying decisions. They are able to use these platforms for a variety of purposes because they have immediate access to this 

information in the palm of their very hands. 

This represents the social media phenomenon. This phenomenon is known to have significant impact a firm’s reputation, sales, and 

even survival. Yet, many executives neglect this form of media because they do not understand what it is, the various purposes it 

serves or how to engage with it. When used correctly, Social Media can monetize your sales and business growth. Platforms such as 

Instagram, Facebook and Twitter enable the creation of virtual customer environments (VCEs), online communities of interest formed 

around specific firms, brands, or products. In today’s market we see this as the instant gratification sale. 

Increasing your engagement and strengthening your brand identity is vital to the success of this process. I am here to provide you 

with the steps necessary to develop this type of presence. In this presentation I will coach you through the process of establishing 

your business’ brand identity across a variety of social media platforms and show you the impact it will have on your sales strategy and 

overall business goals.

Whether designing sustainable commercial or institutional building types, architects carefully consider the 

qualities and long-term advantages of fenestration materials. Windows and doors provide essential protection and 

architectural character to a building, and must also respond to owner-driven requirements like aesthetics, cost, 

performance, maintenance, and life cycle. 

Fiberglass composite is suitable for windows and doors in any climate or building type. More durable than 

aluminum or vinyl, with the thermal efficiency of wood, fiberglass composite windows are an economically competitive 

alternative to aluminum and vinyl windows. The multiple advantages and benefits of fiberglass composite make it a versatile 

fenestration choice because of its strength, durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and sustainable qualities, as well as its 

resistance to corrosion, dents, and scratches. 

Learning Objectives: 

• List the evaluation design criteria used by architects and owners when researching, designing, and specifying windows and 

doors for sustainable buildings. 

• Describe how the strength, durability, energy efficient, and sustainable qualities of fiberglass composite make it a suitable 

material choice for windows and doors. 

• Compare the environmental attributes of fiberglass composite with aluminum and vinyl windows. 

• Design appropriate window installation details for new construction projects that meet human safety and welfare 

requirements while contributing to an energy efficient building envelope.

Romex® stops here: better lighting using low voltage DC LEDs saves copper too 


Target Audience: Custom and spec builders 

Learn why tradition LED lighting performs poorly. The class will offer examples of better light that uses less energy 

and costs less to install. A comparison of traditional wiring with DC methods show how DC can be vendor neutral 

- that 2020 is the first year of using LEDs to their full potential. The Edison light bulb is 125 years old - (Older than 

indoor flush toilets) and it needs to be retired - it is wasteful and offers poor quality of light and unacceptable dimming - this class will 

explain why and how. Home run vs distributed wiring methods will be discussed and the student can learn the cost and performance 

tradeoffs.

Construction Project Acceleration Part 1: 

The concept of cost-time tradeoffs in construction projects 



Construction Project Acceleration Part 2: 

A numerical example for calculating the least-duration (crash duration) and least-cost duration 



Construction project compression is an extremely important issue for contractors and owners, yet it is one of the most 

misunderstood concepts leading to tremendous waste of resources and money. It can even get worse when an acceleration 

effort backfires and causes a delay in addition to the extra cost. The relationship between project cost and duration is intimate 

and interesting. Some projects have a “must” completion date while other projects have the least cost as the #1 objective. 

Contractors need to understand this relationship: Sort out and calculate all options, and then allow the owner to make an 

educated decision. This seminar explains the cost-time relationship and the process of calculating the optimum durations; cost 

wise and time wise.

Working in Outdoor 

and Indoor Heat 

Environments 

Millions of U.S. workers are exposed to heat 

in their workplaces. Although illness from 

exposure to heat is preventable, every year, 

thousands become sick from occupational 

heat exposure, and some cases are fatal. 

Most outdoor fatalities, 50% to 70%, occur 

in the first few days of working in warm or 

hot environments because the body needs 

to build a tolerance to the heat gradually 

over time. The process of building tolerance 

is called heat acclimatization. Lack of 

acclimatization represents a major risk 

factor for fatal outcomes. 

Occupational risk factors for heat illness 

include heavy physical activity, warm or 

hot environmental conditions, lack of 

acclimatization, and wearing clothing that 

holds in body heat. 

Hazardous heat exposure can occur indoors 

or outdoors, and can occur during any season 

if the conditions are right, not only during 

heat waves. 

In a warm environment, especially when 

physically active, the human body relies on 

its ability to get rid of excess heat (i.e., heat 

dissipation) to maintain a healthy internal 

body temperature. Heat dissipation happens 

naturally through sweating and increased 

blood flow to the skin. Workers cool down 


more rapidly if the external (environmental) 

heat and physical activity (metabolic heat) are 

reduced. 

If heat dissipation does not happen quickly 

enough, the internal body temperature 

keeps rising and the worker may experience 

symptoms that include thirst, irritability, a 

rash, cramping, heat exhaustion, or heat 

stroke. 

Heat stroke is the most severe heat-related 

illness. Workers suffering from heat stroke 

experience mental dysfunction such as 

unconsciousness, confusion, disorientation, 

or slurred speech. Cool these workers 

immediately and call 911! 

Heat-related illness is preventable, especially 

with management commitment to providing 

the most effective controls. An effective 

heat-related illness prevention program 

is incorporated in a broader safety and 

health program and aligns with OSHA’s 

Recommended Practices for Safety and 

Health Programs core elements. 

Workers who have not spent time recently 

in warm or hot environments and/or being 

physically active will need time to build 

tolerance (acclimatize or, less frequently 

used, acclimate) to the heat. During their

Working in Heat... continued 

first few days in warm or hot environments, 

employers should encourage workers to: 

• Consume adequate fluids (water and 

sport drinks) 

• Work shorter shifts, 

• Take frequent breaks, and 

• Quickly identify any heat illness 

symptoms. 

Engineering controls such as air conditioning, 

with cooled air, and increased air flow, 

leading to increased evaporative cooling, 

can make the workplace safer. Other 

options for keeping body temperatures 

down in warm environments include making 

changes to workload and schedules. For 

example, empower supervisors and workers 

to slow down physical activity like reducing 

manual handling speeds or scheduling 

work for the morning or shorter shifts with 

frequent rest breaks in the shade or at least 

away from heat sources. Supervisors can 

encourage workers in warm environments 

to drink hydrating fluids. At a minimum, 

all supervisors and workers should receive 

training about heat-related symptoms and 

first aid. 

Heat-related illnesses can have a substantial 

cost to workers and employers. Heat stress 

can cause fine motor performance (like rebar 

tying or keyboarding) to deteriorate even 

in acclimatized individuals. Heat illness can 

contribute to decreased performance, lost 

productivity due to illness and hospitalization, 

and possibly death. OSHA encourages water, 

rest, and shade as prevention as well as 

treatment for heat-related illness. 

OSHA CAN HELP. This year, OSHA and 

its State Plan partners have launched a 

nationwide campaign to raise employer and 

worker awareness of the dangers of heat and 

how to protect workers. Visit www.osha.gov 

for worker fact sheets, worksite posters, and 

other resources on preventing heat illness, 

in both English and Spanish. If you have 

questions, call OSHA. It’s confidential. Call 

1-800-321-OSHA (6742) or visit www.osha. 

gov to learn more about heat illness.

CELEBRATE YOUR 

ARCHITECTURAL 

STYLE! 

Recently there has been debate over a proposal 

that would require new federal buildings to be 

designed and built only in a classical architectural 

style. In the place of diverse architectural styles 

used in federal buildings for decades, the order 

would mandate a single national style. Some 

people think this would ensure that all new 

federal buildings were harmonious to some of 

the older governmental buildings in Washington, 

D. C. such as the Supreme Court building and 

the traditionally designed West Building of 

the National Gallery of Art. Others prefer that 

architectural design be allowed to continue to 

progress to reflect current times, and reference 

the National Museum of African American 

History and Culture by David Adjaye, and the 

East Building of the National Gallery of Art, 

designed by I M Pei, who also designed the 

Meyerson Symphony Center and Dallas City Hall. 

Those in favor of more diverse and contemporary 

architectural styles would point out that our 

legislators no longer dress in knee britches and 

powdered wigs – just as styles of dress have 

evolved, so should styles of architecture. 

There are many architectural styles, and people 

may admire more than one of them. Some of 

the major types of residential architecture styles 

popular for today’s homes are: 

Cape Cod - A classic Cape Cod style home 

is a smaller home with a simple symmetric 

design. They are generally 1.5 stories with a 

moderately steep pitched roof with gables 

and a large chimney, generally in the center of 

the home. Stylistically, Cape Cod homes have 

simple exteriors and are commonly covered 

in cedar shingles or clapboard. They tend to 

have windows flanking a central front door and 

double-hung symmetric windows with shutters. 

The shape of this home typically means there is a 

formal, center-hall floor plan, with a master suite 

on the ground floor and additional bedrooms 

upstairs. 

Craftsman - Bungalow and Craftsman style 

homes emphasize natural materials — wood, 

stone, and brick. Wide front porches and lowpitched 

roofs are typical. The interior’s open floor 

plan features built-in furniture, big fireplaces, 

and exposed beams. Craftsman styles houses 

place an emphasis on natural materials and tend 

to be symmetrical structures. They often have 

low-pitched roofs with gables (often hipped), 

overhanging eaves, and wide front porches with 

tapered columns or pedestals that extend to the 

ground level. 


Modern Farm House uses common elements 

from traditional pastoral buildings—timber 

cladding, A-frame roofs, and lofted spaces—and 

puts a sleeker spin on them for a home that’s 

streamlined but still connected to its natural 

surroundings. 

Contemporary - architecture seeks to connect 

indoors and outdoors, with an emphasis on 

energy efficiency, sustainable materials, lack of 

unnecessary detail, lots of natural light and the 

use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. 

Mid-Century Modern denotes a style of design 

that was popularized from the 1930s through the 

1960s and continues to inspire both renovations 

and new builds today. Characterized by a 

contemporary, seemingly futuristic aesthetic 

and an emphasis on function, the Mid-Century 

Modern movement influenced many types of 

design. The style extends to include interior, 

product, industrial, and graphic design, as 

epitomized in the TV show Mad Men. 

Ranch - The ranch home, sometimes called a 

rambler, is typically a single-story home with a 

long horizontal footprint. The ranch home was 

initially popularized in the 1950s, a postwar 

style that utilized the profusion of cheap land in 

newly developed suburbs. Ranches are usually 

one-story, with a long, low roofline and simple, 

open layouts. Ranches are typically rectangular, 

L-shaped, or U-shaped, and the long horizontal 

structure allows for easy connection to the 

outdoors. 


Spanish and Tuscan share many of the 

same characteristics, with features 

that include curves and arches, stucco 

exteriors and often interior walls, 

terracotta roof tiles, painted interior 

tiles, tower-like chimneys, balconies, 

ornamental ironwork, arcades, and 

interior courtyards. 

Tudor homes are all about indoor living, 

and these homes are usually asymmetric with 

dominating roof lines. Tudor homes tend to be 

made of sturdy, ‘noble’ materials, and hold up 

well against time and the elements. At least one 

room has a large fireplace that invites families 

to gather around the stone hearth. The interiors 

are traditionally filled with dark wood paneling, 

exposed timbers, and many separate rooms. 

Victorian homes are elaborate homes with 

intricate details inside and out. Typically two 

stories, Victorian homes are built more for beauty 

than functionality. They have asymmetrical floor 

plans, steep roof pitches with dormers, large 

ornate porches, and grand towers and turrets. 

Stylistically, these homes often have ornate trim, 

bright, whimsical colors, eyebrow windows, and 

decorative railings. 

All of these architectural styles can produce 

amazing residences that truly create special 

homes for those who live in them. The Dallas 

Architecture Forum celebrates the best in design 

and invites you to join us to learn more about 

architecture, landscape architecture, interior 

design, and public spaces and parks. Our nonprofit 

is for everyone, not just those in the design 

professions. We have some major areas of public 

programming where you can experience inspired
