Batson-Cook, the general contractor, hired Faith Technologies to install the electrical, fiber-optic/copper cabling, fire alarm, intercom/public address, lighting, and security systems for towers in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and, most recently, Austin, Texas.

For the Austin project, Faith Technologies secured a $5.6-million contract to wire and illuminate Skyhouse Austin, a 320-unit apartment tower.
