A&E project collaboration sounds great–until projects go over budget, scope gets muddy, and no one's sure who's doing what.

In this episode, two award-winning design firms share how they actually make collaboration work:
→ How to staff and structure projects across two firms
→ How to run weekly planning and manage deadlines
→ How to divide scope, run client meetings, and stay on track
→ What tools to rely on: Slack, trace paper, Monograph, and more
→ How should Architects + Landscape Architects work together?

Make sure to listen until the end to hear what they'd never do again!
