Dave McCool, DBIA, LEED AP BD+C

With degrees in Psychology and Construction Management, Dave McCool has a unique perspective on the impact of human behavior on team relationships and has become an advocate for the best practices that make design-build delivery the most successful. Mr. McCool has advocated for DBIA’s best practices on a global platform, even writing a book featuring an exhaustive section on the benefits and correlation of BIM and design-build, which is being translated into French and Chinese in order to be used in 25 universities worldwide. Most recently, he founded a global non-profit whose mission is to use technology to break down the silos of owner, architect, engineer and contractor in order to implement the teachings of DBIA.
