Why GCs Don’t Do Anything (And How AI Might Change That)
Manage episode 469501864 series 3237497
In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy takes on one of his most explosive LinkedIn posts: Why do so few general contractors self-perform anything? And if their answer is "risk"—what does that really mean?
The AEC industry loves tradition, but KP isn't buying the excuses. He and Jeff dive into:
🔹 The myth of risk management—are GCs actually mitigating risk or just passing the buck?
🔹 Why owners are questioning what they're really paying for
🔹 How AI and robotics could make self-performing the new norm
🔹 The missing feedback loop between design, construction, and building product manufacturers
🔹 Quantum computing, Roombas, and why the “way we’ve always done it” is a dead-end
Plus, a sneak peek at the Mastermind Atlanta event in May—where these conversations get even spicier.
Turn your 2026 plan into real Q1 momentum.
Join KP Reddy and a small room of AEC leaders on January 13 in the SF Bay Area for the first KPR Quarterly, where strategy meets execution in the first 90 days.
