What’s one thing you wish upstream teams would do differently?

Everyone in AEC deals with upstream and downstream impacts, whether it’s missing info, unclear specs, late design changes, or something else. What’s one habit or process you wish the teams upstream of your work would change? How would it help you, and what do you do to help those downstream? Stories, rants, and constructive solutions welcome.

What part of the project do you rarely see, but want better visibility into?

Every discipline sees a different slice of the job. But most issues come from what happens between those slices like misaligned assumptions, missing info, or just zero context from upstream or downstream.

What part of the project do you never really get to see, but would be useful to understand better?
Maybe it’s how procurement decisions are made.
Or how trades interpret your spec.
Or how ops teams experience your design years later.

You don’t have to be an expert in it, just curious.

Welcome and thank you for being here

Hi everyone and truly, welcome. Whether you just joined or have been checking in since the early days, I’m really grateful you’re here.

Some of you raised concerns early on, and I listened. All AI-generated filler and legacy placeholder is gone. What’s left is a space that will be shaped by real professionals, for the kinds of conversations we rarely get to have across disciplines.

AEC Stack is for anyone in the built environment incuding trades, engineers, planners, designers, operators, consultants. The goal is to make it easier to share insight, understand the decisions shaping our work, and connect with people you wouldn’t otherwise hear from.

A few things to check out:

- The Industry Events Calendar: Discover and share events across the AEC sector. Join the conversation before and after each one. Organizers can also upload recordings and resources, free or paid.

- Specialized Communities: From facades to fire protection, quantity surveying to geotech, focused spaces for technical exchange.

- Cross-Role Threads: The best moments often happen when a contractor replies to a planner, or a building operator weighs in on a design conversation.

It’s still early, but the vision is clear: a public, work-safe platform where knowledge compounds and collaboration becomes the norm.

Thanks again for being part of it.
