In this episode, Patrick MacLeamy, FAIA, shares the three major issues - complexity, conflict, and communication - that he sees plague the building industry. He provides context on how we got here, which sheds light on why buildingSMART International would eventually come into existence.

Patrick shares his lessons for listeners to take away from this episode:

• Ever increasing complexity makes it even more important for the designers and builders to address conflict and communication issues,
• Conflict between designers and builders has to be resolved and turned into collaboration,
• Communication between all teams members needs to evolve.
