From the RAZE Coverage Report
In a metro this size, the work is the miles between sites as much as the sites themselves, and a lender's draws can land in every corner of it. RAZE runs each Houston order on the same four steps (order, dispatch, capture, deliver), and every report comes back in the same format, with geo-stamped, time-stamped photos, so a lender reviewing a month of Houston draws reads them all the same way.
- Busiest U.S. permit market
- A metro larger than New Jersey
- Miles between sites
About this market
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the seat of Harris County, and no U.S. metro issued more single-family building permits in the first half of 2025. The metro covers 9,444 square miles, more ground than New Jersey, and several of the country's top-selling master-planned communities sit on its west and northwest edges, around Katy, Cypress and Fulshear.
In a metro that size, the hard part of a month of draws is the miles between sites. RAZE runs every Houston order on one standardized workflow, from order and dispatch to capture and delivery, and every report comes back in the same format, with geo-stamped, time-stamped photos, from any corner of the metro.
