🎙 Featuring:
Jeff Echols, Chief Executive Director Catalyst, KP Reddy Co.
David Niewadomski, Senior Research Advisor, KP Reddy Co.
In this episode of KP Unpacked, the number one podcast in AEC, host Jeff Echols sits down with David Niewadomski, Senior Research Advisor at KP Reddy Co., to dive into the inefficiencies of construction—and how rethinking them through the owner's lens could change everything.
David shares insights from his journey across construction, development, and Lean Six Sigma. Together, they unpack what’s broken in our current workflows, why data fragmentation costs more than we think, and how the Integrated Owners Forum is designed to surface the real issues facing today's built environment.
From fragmented systems to missing feedback loops, this is a conversation about connecting the dots before solving the problem.
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.
