Welcome to another episode of Let's Talk Facilities. Aaron and Tim sit down with Adrian Michaels for a deep dive into Building Management Systems — what they do, why they are so often misunderstood and what the industry keeps getting wrong about them.

In this episode he unpacks why BMS contracts are typically buried so far down the mechanical subcontractor chain that the window to get them right has already closed by the time they are in the room. He also shares why FMs could lose touch with their own systems as they become more reliable, and what a practical first step looks like for any FM trying to get more out of the building data they already have.
