What's already in the air.
Before the ground matters, the airspace does. REIR lists the FCC antenna structure registrations and the FAA's charted obstacles in reach of the site — height, owner and distance — so you know what you're building next to. The FAA airspace notice (Part 77) is listed as a call to make, not answered.
Zoning kills more sites than money does.
Every candidate is read against the jurisdiction's own code: the zoning district where we hold the city or county layer, and for a tower the siting path and separation rule the code writes, quoted with the section they came from. Where we don't hold the layer, we confirm it with the authority — we never invent a district.
Who actually owns the dirt.
Owner of record, assessed value and roll acreage — read from the county's own published roll, with its year, never a scraped estimate. Texas is a non-disclosure state: there is no sale price to read, and the report says so. A number we can't read is flagged, not guessed.
Data centers live and die on power.
The same fiber leaving that tower compound ends up somewhere. REIR measures the distance to the nearest named substation and transmission line with its voltage, names the serving electric utilities from federal filings and the fiber carriers filing service in the area with the FCC, and reads public water and sewer service areas where they are published — then the parcel's own constraints, because the cheapest land is usually cheap for a reason.
The building tells you what the land had to support.
For a data-center brief we report what public filings show: transmission proximity and kV, the named substation, the serving electric utilities, the fiber carriers filing service, PeeringDB facilities and exchanges in reach, and the ERCOT large-load queue where it applies. Spare capacity at the substation is not public — it is the utility's answer, and the report lists that call.
A person signs off before it ships.
Nothing auto-sends. An analyst reviews every report, checks the flags, resolves what can be resolved and states plainly what couldn't. Sources cited by name. Gaps written down, not papered over. Then, and only then, the PDF lands in your inbox.
