In this episode, we chat with Heather White, CEO of the Sunshine Silver Mining & Refining Company, a U.S.-based developer focused on revitalizing one of North America's most historic and high-grade silver districts. Under Heather's leadership, the company is advancing plans to bring its projects back into production while also expanding into the critical minerals space, including antimony, which is drawing growing attention for its strategic importance in energy, defence, and technology. Heather shares an update on Sunshine Silver's progress, including their recent $75 million equity raise, the five-year roadmap to restart operations, and how the company is positioning itself within the evolving U.S. critical minerals landscape. We also discuss the challenges of bringing legacy mines back online, the regulatory changes needed to accelerate domestic production, and Heather's outlook on what investors should watch for next. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sunshine Silver is focused on restarting the Sunshine Complex in Idaho, a historic site with one of the largest undeveloped high-grade silver resources in the US, with initial production targeted for 2028. The company is building the US's only permitted large-scale antimony refinery, strategically important because antimony is a critical mineral for defense and clean energy The company has a significant advantage as its mine and refinery are already permitted and "ready to roll," helping to overcome the typically long permitting timelines in the US mining sector. The overall plan is to transform Sunshine into the cornerstone of North America's critical minerals refining solution, initially securing domestic supply for antimony and silver BEST MOMENTS "The Sunshine Complex in Idaho's Silver Valley... has produced almost $400 million ounces of silver across a century and was once among the most prolific primary silver mines in the world." "Permitting reform is the single biggest lever, not to weaken environmental standards, but to create a clear and timely and most importantly predictable process that allows responsible projects to move forward." "Sunshine sits right at the intersection of all these forces, combining not only its history, its scale, high-grade and strategic relevance in a way that very few assets can."

Jon Gilligan, President and CEO of Liberty Gold (TSX:LGD; OTCQX:LGDTF), joins me for a comprehensive update on their exploration, development, and derisking work leading to an upcoming Feasibility Study, engineering work streams, permitting, and other future value drivers; with a move towards a construction decision in 2 years at the open-pit, heap leach Black Pine Gold Project in the Great Basin in southeastern Idaho.   We start off reviewing the key metrics from the Pre-Feasibility Study announced on October 10, 2024, but using a $2,000 gold price assumption.   Open pit, run-of-mine (no crushing) heap leach operation with a one-year construction period and initial capital expenditure of $327 million Average annual production of 183 thousand ounces of gold in years 1 to 5 with Life-of-Mine average annual production of 135 thousand ounces of gold All-In Sustaining Cost for years 1 to 5 of $1,205 per ounce of gold and LOM AISC of $1,380 per ounce of gold $552 million After-Tax Net Present Value (5%) with a 32% After-Tax Internal Rate of Return and a 3.3 year payback at a base case gold price of $2,000 per ounce $1.296 billion After-Tax Net Present Value (NPV 5%) with a 62% After-Tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and a 1.5 year payback at spot gold prices of $2,600 per ounce   The economic metrics are obviously much better at current gold prices near $4,000 per ounce, the NPV swells well over $2billion and the IRR goes to triple digits. The Company is working towards a Feasibility Study as a next key catalyst, but has multiple development and derisking workstreams underway.   Additionally, there is still a lot of room for exploration expansion at the Black Pine Gold Project, where there have been recent news reports announcing additional strong results at the expanding Rangefront Zone, from the ongoing 40,000 meter (“m”) feasibility reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program.    This exploration program is designed for resource infill and conversion, as well as technical compliance for feasibility and expansion of the resource. There is also some true discovery drilling exploring areas for near-surface mineralization and looking for more potential satellite pits. Jon outlines how Rangefront has expanded so much through the focused drilling that it is likely to move up into where the initial few years of mining happen, being strategically located further down the mountain and near the new leach pads.   Jon also provides a detailed roadmap of the timeline of permitting milestones and derisking initiatives in front of the Company over the next 2-3 years through targeted construction and first gold pour.   Many of the engineering and permitting workstreams coalesce in late 2027, in tandem with initiatives to execute on the funding package, and these should lead to the construction decision later that year, and then breaking ground in 2028.   Jon outlined the specific factors that lead to the strong current financial health of the company. After a successful capital raise back in April of C$23 million, this was followed by a strategic 9.9% investment by Centerra Gold in September for C$28 million, another $2.2million payment received in October from the sale of the non-core TV Tower copper gold project, and then additional early exercise of warrants. This gives Liberty Gold a solid treasury, and they are now fully funded to advance forward with all the ongoing exploration, development, and derisking work programs at Black Pine moving towards a construction decision in late 2027.   We wrap up having Jon reiterate the Company's genuine interest in building this project, and highlighting a number of key promotions and additions to their board of directors and management team, boosting both their technical and permitting teams.   If you have any questions for Jon regarding Liberty Gold, the please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Liberty Gold     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com Investment Disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Everyone agrees it takes too long and costs too much to build energy infrastructure in America, but what exactly needs fixing, and can we make progress without rolling back vital environmental protections?In this special episode of Energy Gang, recorded live at the ACORE Grid Forum in Washington D.C., host Ed Crooks takes a deep dive into one of the most complex and consequential issues in US energy policy: permitting reform. Ed begins the episode in conversation with Matt Christiansen, partner at Wilson Sonsini and former General Counsel at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Drawing on his experience inside the commission, Matt explains where the real choke points lie in the permitting process, how federal and state powers intersect, and what the newly confirmed FERC commissioners could do to accelerate much-needed grid investment.Later, Ed sits down with three experts who work daily on these challenges in Congress and the private sector: Elizabeth Horner, partner at ArentFox Schiff and former counsel to Senators Shelley Moore Capito and John Barrasso; Daniel Palken, Director of Infrastructure for Energy and Permitting at Arnold Ventures; and Jeremy Horan, Permitting Lead at ACORE. Together, they unpack the politics behind reform, the relationship between permitting and transmission planning, and the growing urgency created by surging power demand from data centers and new manufacturing.The group also discusses the mood in Washington, and hopes that bipartisan momentum can be built to support pragmatic, economy-wide permitting reform.This episode is the first of two recorded live at the ACORE Grid Forum, where industry leaders, regulators, and policymakers came together to discuss the future of America's electricity system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this KE Report company update, I speak with Nick Appleyard, President & CEO of TriStar Gold (TSX.V:TSG - OTCQB:TSGZF), for a detailed overview of the company's flagship Castelo de Sonhos Gold Project in Pará State, Brazil. The discussion revisits the May 2025 Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and outlines why TriStar's 2.5 million ounces of gold (1.4 million in reserves) represent an undervalued asset. Key Discussion Highlights: Robust Resource & Reserves: The project hosts 2.5Moz total gold, including 1.4Moz of reserves, supported by over 75,000m of drilling. The deposit remains open and continuous, with mineralization starting at surface. Project Economics: The May 2025 PFS outlined an AISC of $1,111/oz and an initial CAPEX of ~US$300M (including 20% contingency). Even at $1,500 gold, the project remains profitable. Favorable Geology: The Esperança South zone anchors the project's economics - hosting a 6km-long, shallowly dipping orebody averaging ~1.3 g/t Au with 98% metallurgical recovery. Permitting & Legal Update: TriStar's key LP environmental permit remains in full standing. A pending court clarification expected in November 2025 should resolve current legal challenges, followed by advancement toward the construction permit by late 2026. Strong Downside Protection: At current valuations (~C$60M market cap), TriStar trades below 0.1x NAV.

As AI reshapes the industrial landscape, companies are questioning whether the grid can keep pace. Permitting delays, transmission constraints, and reliability risks are forcing developers to rethink where power comes from. In this episode, KR Sridhar, CEO of Bloom Energy, lays out a radically different vision. He believes that many data centers will ultimately operate like refineries — powered by captive, off-grid generation that prioritizes resilience, speed, and local control over traditional grid economics. Sridhar argues that solid-state fuel cells have become an ideal solution to meet data center needs at AI speed and scale. They can be deployed in months rather than years, follow digital loads in real time, and integrate with future zero-carbon fuels like hydrogen. “I truly believe that this is a cyclical trend that's going to continue for well over a decade,” said Sridhar. This episode features an edited version of our live Frontier Forum conversation about what a future-proof AI power strategy really looks like. We talk about the tension between off-grid and grid-connected approaches, the importance of speed to power, carbon capture, and supply chains over the next decade of growth. The conversation also touches on Bloom's new white paper, Fuel Cells: A Technology Whose Time Has Come, which argues that onsite generation can deliver AI-scale reliability and lower emissions.

October 17, 2025- The state agency responsible for overseeing permitting in the Adirondacks has a new leader, so we explore the transition with Gwen Craig, a Capitol reporter for the Adirondack Explorer.

Montreal's Sherbrooke conversion is a masterclass in adaptive reuse: keeping the pink-granite look, re-engineering the windows for fresh air and exhaust, and turning a 1962 steel-frame office into bright, efficient apartments with 9-ft ceilings. George Armoyan explains the strategy—buy right, move fast, over-prepare for “unknowns,” and win on cost without sacrificing quality. We also cover LaSalle's 1,274-unit community, a 732-unit tower by the Bell Centre, 3.5M sq ft of Alberta office, a Kansas City acquisition, and a 7,000-door master plan in Atlanta—plus why he's confident office is coming back.   What we cover

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major step forward in the company's financing strategy with the signing of an agreement with Integrity Capital Group, which will act as lead agent and bookrunner for a new “best efforts” private placement financing. The offering will consist of up to 25,000,000 units for gross proceeds of up to $15 million. Passalacqua explained that the financing, being conducted under a Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (LIFE) offering, represents one of the company's largest raises to date. It comes on top of $20 million already secured in the past six months, bringing total capital raised to $35 million during that period. He noted that the decision to move forward with this financing reflects the company's strategy to “fully de-risk the company” as it advances both its upstream and downstream initiatives. The additional capital will allow First Phosphate to progress its Bégin-Lamarche igneous phosphate mine in Quebec, while simultaneously laying the groundwork for downstream processing facilities aimed at supplying the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery sector. Discussing the financing environment for mining companies, Passalacqua highlighted the industry challenge known as the “Valley of Death,” the capital-intensive stage between completing preliminary economic assessments (PEAs) and advancing toward feasibility studies and permitting. He emphasized that First Phosphate is now well-capitalized to cross this stage without having to rely on royalties, debt, or additional dilution—an important differentiator for shareholders. Looking ahead, the company plans to launch metallurgical bulk sampling, definition drilling, and environmental programs this fall, with all results feeding into a feasibility study targeted for completion by the end of 2026. Permitting efforts are scheduled to commence shortly thereafter, with approvals anticipated by Q1 2027. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Permitting has long been a concern of those in the energy extraction and production sectors. Long review periods drive up the costs and delay profits in both the renewable and fossil fuel industries. Today our team discusses the history of both parties' efforts to fix this process, options that have been proposed by the current Congress and administration, and what to watch leading up to 2026.

Last year, an energy permitting reform bill sponsored by Senators Joe Manchin and John Barrasso passed out of committee but failed to gain full support in the US Senate. Since then, rising energy costs and infrastructure backlogs have only heightened pressure on Congress to take another run at reforming the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). As a result, momentum behind permitting reform is building again. Several legislative efforts are underway, most notably the bipartisan SPEED Act, which would change NEPA requirements in order to streamline the permitting process. It would also set limits on judicial review.  So how likely is meaningful permitting reform, this time around? How would it enable timely development of energy infrastructure without jeopardizing environmental concerns? And what might make it feasible to supporters of fossil and renewable energy alike? This week, Bill Loveless speaks to Jim Connaughton about shifting motivations for permitting reform in DC, and whether policymakers can find enough common ground to push reforms forward. Jim is the CEO of JLC Strategies and the former chairman and CEO of Nautilus Data Technologies. During the George W. Bush administration, he served as chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality and directed the White House Office of Environmental Policy.  Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

The power grid is under historic strain. Electricity demand is climbing, climate impacts are intensifying, and the clean energy transition is accelerating. Despite this well agreed upon urgency, new infrastructure projects keep getting stuck in permitting delays, siting disputes, and interconnection backlogs. For the nation's more than 2,000 public power utilities, in particular, these roadblocks hit especially hard. Communities can't afford to wait years for the infrastructure that keeps the lights on and rates affordable. In this episode of Power Perspectives, host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester chat with Scott Corwin, President & CEO of the American Public Power Association (APPA). Scott breaks down why permitting reform is a make-or-break issue for public power, where solutions are emerging, and what “smart permitting reform” could look like to balance speed, reliability, affordability, and community engagement. Whether you're in the utility C-suite, working on grid infrastructure in the field, or contributing to the policy debates unfolding in D.C., this episode offers a crucial public power perspective on one of the most urgent issues shaping our energy future.

Welcome back to another episode of Upside at the EUVC Podcast, where Dan Bowyer, Mads Jensen of SuperSeed, Andrew J Scott of 7percent Ventures, and Lomax unpack the forces shaping European venture capital.This week, veteran journalist Mike Butcher (ex-TechCrunch Europe, The Europas, TechFugees) joins the pod. From the creator economy eating media brands, to Europe's fragmented ecosystem and the capital gap that just won't die, we dive into EU-Inc, Draghi's unfulfilled reforms, ASML's surprise bet on Mistral, Europe's defense awakening, Klarna's IPO, and quantum's hot streak.Here's what's covered:00:01 – Mike's ResetTechCrunch Europe closes; Mike reflects on redundancy, summer off, dabbling in social and video.03:00 – Media Evolution & Creator EconomyFrom '90s trade mags → TechCrunch → The Europas & TechFugees. Blogs as early social media; today's creators (MrBeast, Bari Weiss, Cleo Abram) echo that era. Bloomberg pushes reporters front and center as media becomes personality-driven.06:45 – Europe's Ecosystem & Debate CultureEurope isn't Silicon Valley's 101 highway — it's dozens of fragmented hubs. Conferences like Slush, Web Summit, VivaTech anchor the scene, but the missing ingredient is debate. US VCs spar on stage then grab a beer; Europe is still too polite.12:00 – All-In Summit DebriefMads' takeaways from LA: Musk on robotics (the “hand” bottleneck), Demis Hassabis on AGI (5–10 yrs away), Eric Schmidt on US–China AI race, Alex Karp on Europe's regulatory failures. The Valley vibe captured, but it's only one voice.17:00 – EU-Inc & Draghi ReportDraghi's 383 recommendations, just 11% implemented. €16T in pensions sit mostly in bonds; only 0.02–0.03% flows into VC (vs 1–2% in the US). Permitting bottlenecks: 44 months for energy approvals. Panel calls for a Brussels “crack unit,” employee stock option reform, and fixing skilled migration.35:00 – Deal of the Week: ASML × MistralASML leads a €2B round in Mistral at €11B valuation. Strategic and cultural fit (Netherlands ↔ Paris) mattered more than sovereignty. Mads: 14× revenue is a bargain vs US peers. Andrew: proof Europe's VCs are too small — corporates must fill the gap. Lomax: ASML knows it's a one-trick pony with 90% lithography share; diversifying into AI hedges risk.49:00 – Defense & Industrial BaseRussian drones hit Poland, NATO urgency spikes. UK pledges defense spend to 2.5% GDP by 2027, but procurement bottlenecks persist. Poland cuts red tape under fire; UK moves at peacetime pace. Andrew: real deterrence is industrial capacity. Mike: primes must be forced to buy from startups; dual-use innovators like Helsing show the way.59:00 – Klarna IPO & the Klarna MafiaKlarna IPOs at $15B (down from $46B peak). Oversubscribed; Sequoia nets ~$3.5B; Atomico 12M → 150M. A new “Klarna Mafia” of angels and operators will recycle liquidity back into Europe's ecosystem.01:03:00 – Quantum's Hot StreakPsiQuantum ($7B, Bristol roots), Quantinuum ($10B, Cambridge), IQM (Finland unicorn), Oxford Ionics' $1B exit. Europe has parity in talent but lacks growth capital. Lomax: “Quantum is hot, but a winter will come.” Andrew: Europe can win here — if the money shows up.01:05:00 – Wrap-upThe pod ends on optimism: Europe may not own AGI, but in quantum it has a fair fight.

Sandeep Singh, CEO of Western Copper and Gold, provides MSD listeners with a general update on the current process on permitting its Casino project in Yukon.

This week, we hear from Donna Washington, FilmLA's VP of Permit Operations. After the June 20th Board of Public Works hearing in Los Angeles, I was taken aback by the outrage and frustration permeating the halls of City Hall. So many folks I've grown up on set with voiced their extreme concern with the permitting process and costs in LA - one of the main blockers keeping productions from coming or staying here. Donna has been with FilmLA since its very beginning in 1995. She's witnessed firsthand the evolution from LA's golden era of production - when they were processing nearly 40,000 shoot days a year - to the current reality where production has dropped by 53% in just the last five years. While FilmLA is not the sole cause of the production exodus, it certainly has not helped. I wanted to invite Donna on to address this criticism head-on and discuss the misconceptions about who sets what fees, Film LA's 17-point plan to streamline the permitting process, and how FilmLA actually functions compared to film commissions in other states. This isn't about pointing fingers - it's about understanding the system, identifying the problems, and working together on solutions. Because as Donna puts it, FilmLA doesn't exist if the industry doesn't exist. And right now, with a 400% uptick in applications following California's increased tax incentives, we're at a critical moment that could determine the future of filmmaking in Los Angeles.   This impacts all of us and requires all of us to work towards a solution.

Today, POLITICO's Josh Siegel sits down for an extended conversation with Emily Domenech, executive director of the Federal Permitting Council and a top Trump administration official.

The U.S. power sector serves more than 160 million electricity customers—across homes, businesses, and factories in all 50 states. But the grid that supplies that electricity wasn't designed for the world we live in now, let alone the one that's coming.Electrification is accelerating. Data centers—driven by the explosive growth of AI—are demanding more power than ever, often in places where the grid is already strained. And while decarbonization remains technically optional—for those serious about resilience, sustainability, and long term viability, it's a necessity. These three forces—electrification, digitization, and decarbonization—are colliding, reshaping how our energy system works and who it's built for.The challenge isn't just technical. It's structural. We are moving towards a world of abundant clean electricity—but too often, it's available at the wrong time, or in the wrong place. Permitting and interconnection can add years of delays. And even when approved, major transmission projects often take decades to complete, if they manage to get built at all. And many of the rules that govern our electricity markets weren't built for flexibility, speed, or innovation.So what if we didn't wait for the system to catch up? What if we reimagined where clean power is built, who it serves, and how it's delivered? What if gigawatt-scale clean energy projects were already breaking ground—designed to power data centers, industrial loads, and the digital infrastructure reshaping our world?That's exactly what Sheldon Kimber, Co‑Founder and CEO of Intersect Power, is doing: imagining a better energy future, and then building it—faster than anyone thought possible.SponsorsWatt It Takes is brought to you by HSBC Innovation Banking who is proud to bank some of the most exciting companies pioneering the technologies of tomorrow.With specialist financing support, deep understanding of the challenges, and a global network across more than 50 markets, they help clients scale breakthrough innovations and take them to the world.

Daf Yomi Avodah Zarah 37Episode 2029Rabbi Yehudah Nesiah was going to permit also the bread of non Jews. However, he was concerned for his reputation—that he would be known as being overly permissive, since he had already permitted the oil of non Jews. This was supported by the fact that Rabbi Yose of Tzereda had gained a repuation for being overly permissive, when he had permitted too many Rabbinic decrees. Most of daf 37 discusses decress that were permitted by both Rabbi Yehudah Nesiah, as well as Rabbie Yose of Tzereda.Sefaria: https://www.sefaria.org/Avodah_Zarah.37a?lang=heEmail: sruli@babbleontalmud.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/babble_on_talmudFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Babble-on-Talmud-100080258961218/Join the community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LMbsU3a5f4Y3b61DxFRsqf#dafyomi #talmud 00:00 Intro01:30 Permitting the bread of non Jews09:34 No divorce after death28:12 Grasshoppers34:15 Purity of liquids in the Temple38:50 Corpse tumah

It can take more than 15 years to permit and build a new mine in the United States - yet nearly every modern technology we rely on, from smartphones to fighter jets to AI data centers, depends on a steady supply of critical minerals.In this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined in the studio by Turner Caldwell, founder of Mariana Minerals, along with American Dynamism general partner Erin Price-Wright and partner Ryan McEntush.Turner spent nearly a decade at Tesla, working his way upstream from factory design to battery materials and mining. Now, he's building a new kind of mining and refining company - vertically integrated and software-first- designed to meet the demands of our industrial future.We get into why the industry is so broken, what it actually takes to turn rocks into usable materials, and how the U.S. can rebuild its capacity to mine, refine, and manufacture the things that matter most. Timecodes: 00:00 Introduction to Critical Minerals00:45 The Importance of Mining in Modern Technology00:58 Meet Turner Caldwell and Marianna Minerals03:02 The Mining and Refining Process05:10 Challenges in the Mining Industry07:11 Turner's Journey from Tesla to Marianna15:31 The Role of AI and ML in Mining22:00 Geopolitical and Talent Pool Dynamics23:46 Challenges in Junior Mining Exploration25:30 Mariana's Product and Approach25:47 Leveraging Technology in Mining and Construction28:29 Optimizing Refining Processes with AI37:31 The Importance of Critical Minerals41:18 Permitting and Regulatory Challenges46:08 Future Strategies and International Expansion46:53 Conclusion and Future Outlook Resources: Find Turner on X :https://x.com/tbc415Find Erin on X: https://x.com/espricewrightFind Ryan on X: https://x.com/rmcentush Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Daf Yomi Avodah Zarah 36Episode 2028Some very interesting topics on today's daf. First, we discuss the prohibition against consuming the oil of non-Jews, and the revocation of that prohibition. Which leads to a discussion around the scenarios in which a enactment of the rabbis can be revoked. Also discussed, is the rabbinic enactment of yichud with non-Jewish women as a safeguard against idolatry. A very interesting daf.

Anduril has scored a nearly $100 million contract to continue experimentation on the Army's Next Generation Command and Control program, the service said Friday. NGC2, one of the Army's top priorities, is a clean-slate design for how the service communicates on the battlefield and passes data for operations, providing commanders and units a new approach to information sharing and C2 through agile and software-based architectures. The Army plans to spend almost $3 billion on the effort over the next fiscal year across procurement and research and development funds. The $99.6 million other transaction authority agreement will span 11 months and cover Anduril's work to prototype a system for 4th Infantry Division, which will scale the capability all the way up to the division level. The notoriously slow federal permitting process would get a technological jumpstart under a bill introduced last week by a bipartisan pair of House lawmakers. The ePermit Act from Reps. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., and Scott Peters, D-Calif., calls for the digitization of federal permitting, pushing the government to improve environmental reviews and authorizations through the embrace of interactive, digital and cloud-based platforms. Aimed at reducing processing times for federally mandated National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews, the ePermit Act aligns with an April executive order from President Donald Trump to modernize permitting technology and the subsequent launch of a permitting technology action plan. The bill calls on the chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to consult with the Chief Information Officers Council, the Office of Management and Budget, the Permitting Improvement Steering Council and other relevant stakeholders and agencies on new data standards to inform environmental reviews and authorizations.

The phrase “it's just a small project” has probably caused more confusion, blown more budgets, and strained more relationships than we'd care to admit. It sounds harmless, maybe even charming - the architectural equivalent of a quick favor. But that phrase carries weight. Because behind every modest addition, bathroom remodel, or garage conversion is the same professional rigor we apply to larger work … just without the benefit of scale. Whether it's fees that don't shrink as expected, construction costs that defy logic, or clients caught off guard by the number of decisions they'll need to make, these projects demand clarity, patience, and experience. So today, we're talking about what architects need to communicate, anticipate, and prepare for when the work is small but the expectations are not. Welcome to Episode 180: Size Doesn't Matter.  [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]  Architectural Fees Don't Scale jump to 3:50 One of the most misunderstood aspects of residential design is how architectural fees are determined. Many clients assume that a smaller project should result in a proportionally smaller fee. But architectural fees don't scale like that. A 400-square-foot addition still requires site measurements, code research, zoning analysis, (possibly) consultant coordination, and detailed documentation. Whether the project is 400 or 4,000 square feet, many of the baseline efforts remain the same. You still need floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, building sections, wall sections, electrical layouts, and coordination with structural engineers or energy consultants. And while the documentation may be shorter, the care and precision required to make a small project work can sometimes take even more time. For example, a kitchen renovation might involve more detail and coordination per square foot than an entire house. The AIA has published guidance on fee structures in the "Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice," (this is a book that I highly recommend) which notes that project complexity and risk should be used to help determine compensation, not just size. As architects, we must be clear in helping clients understand that fees represent time and expertise, not floor area. If you charge a fixed fee or percentage of construction cost, be sure to explain what that covers and what it doesn't. Helping clients see the value in pre-design services, permitting assistance, and construction observation can prevent misunderstandings later. Saving the best for last, just because it's a small project doesn't mean the liability is small. Professional risk remains, which means the time spent to get it right matters, regardless of scale. the post that I referenced in our discussions was this one ...*the penalty of drawing too much -  Excessive or Essential? The Entire Timeline jump to 9:43 Clients often think the timeline for a small project will be quick. And to be fair, the design phase might be shorter than that of a ground-up custom home. But that's only one piece of the puzzle. Permitting can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the jurisdiction. In some cities, small additions are routed through full plan review just like new homes. And once the project is permitted, the construction timeline is subject to the availability of contractors and materials, site conditions, and even weather. It's our responsibility to help clients understand the full arc of the process. According to a 2023 survey from Houzz, the average design-to-completion timeline for a kitchen remodel is around 8-12 months, even when the construction itself only takes 2-3. Why the gap? Because there are lags built into the process. Design review boards, HOA approvals, contractor bidding windows, and permit review times all add up. When you add in backorders on appliances or materials, things can shift quickly. That's why it's so important to map out the process...
