Has Construction Tech Failed Its Most Important Customer?
Description
Construction has poured billions into technology—but ask any owner, and you’ll hear the same thing: it still hasn’t solved their problems. In this episode, KP Reddy—CEO of Shadow Ventures and longtime tech leader in AEC—makes the case that BIM and automation have mostly failed the people who matter most: the owners footing the bill.
We unpack why that happened, what went wrong in the handoff between design and delivery, and why optimizing for internal workflows instead of outcomes has created a massive credibility gap. KP shares how the next generation of tools—and companies—must be built around owner needs from day one. And amid all the disruption, KP reminds us why this still matters: buildings are permanent. They shape communities, economies, and lives. And when we finally build for that kind of impact, we don’t just boost an industry—we redefine it.
