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.

Ignite what's next

We're launching something new... It’s called Catalyst.

It’s a space for AEC forward-thinkers are reimagining what’s next. This is where the top minds in the industry are sharing ideas, leading change, and pushing the future of AEC forward.
