Hmmm, we've been building permanent dwellings for thousands of years. We've been building software for fifty, and doing so on a large scale for about thirty.

Not to mention that the complexity and novelty of the average piece of software dwarfs that of all but the most unique and large-scale building projects.

Then why are we building software skyscrapers, rather than more modest dwellings? Scale is our enemy, until we understand how to manage it. We need much less complex software than we in fact receive.
