CREtech New York announces KP Reddy solo session on how AI could make buildings 30% Cheaper. NEW YORK, August 5, 2026 - CREtech, the world's leading community of professionals devoted to technological and sustainable innovation in the built environment, has announced that KP Reddy, CEO and Co-founder of Zero RFI, will deliver a solo session at CREtech New York 2026 titled "Why Buildings Will Cost 30% Cheaper Due to AI." The session will take place on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, from 2:55 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. EDT. While technology has transformed industries such as music, media, retail, and transportation by lowering costs and increasing accessibility, real estate and construction have yet to experience the same deflationary impact. Despite years of investment in new platforms and growing technology adoption, the cost and complexity of delivering buildings have continued to rise. According to Reddy, the industry will not solve this challenge by adding another software platform or placing an AI chatbot on top of an existing SaaS product. Instead, the opportunity lies in using AI to identify and remove waste throughout the entire project lifecycle. This requires a clearer understanding of project goals, better visibility into risk across every phase, and stronger collaboration between project stakeholders. "AI's greatest value will not come from replacing people or adding another layer of software," said Reddy. "It will come from helping teams identify risk earlier, make better decisions, and eliminate the waste that has become embedded in how buildings are designed and delivered." During the session, Reddy will explain the mathematics behind the potential 30% reduction in building costs and outline a theory for industry-wide change. He will also explore how AI can facilitate a new level of collaboration while keeping human expertise and decision-making at the center of the process. The session will challenge conventional ideas about AI adoption and offer attendees a practical framework for understanding how the technology could reshape project economics across real estate, design, engineering, and construction.

Zero RFI and Track3D partner to bring AI-powered construction progress tracking to next generation of owner representation. The partnership combines Zero RFI's owner-side and project delivery expertise with Track3D's Reality Intelligence platform to help owners independently assess project progress, work-in-place, and emerging risk. July 14, 2026 10:00 ET | Source: Track3D SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Zero RFI, the AI-native platform redefining construction project success through greater predictability, and Track3D, the Reality Intelligence platform for construction contractors and owners, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver objective, AI-powered project intelligence directly to building owners and developers. The agreement integrates Track3D's progress tracking capabilities directly into Zero RFI's service delivery through its operating companies and a connected workflow from active construction through closeout. The partnership marks a meaningful shift in how owners engage with project data. Owners have the most at stake on any construction project, yet they have historically relied on periodic, manually compiled reports to understand what is happening on site. By the time risks surface through traditional reporting channels, the window to act without impacting cost or schedule has often already closed. Zero RFI addresses this challenge through a new model of owner representation, one that combines deep industry expertise with AI-driven intelligence through its Foundation Zero platform to give owners greater clarity and accountability across their capital programs. Track3D adds a Reality Intelligence layer by converting site captures from 360° cameras, drones, and laser scanners into objective, measurable project insights. Critically, it does so without requiring BIM models, complex integrations, or specialized workflows, making real-time project intelligence accessible from day one of deployment. "Owners have long been the most underserved stakeholders in construction technology. This partnership with Zero RFI changes that. We are bringing Reality Intelligence directly into the owner's seat, giving them the same objective view of project performance that leading GC teams already rely on to protect schedules, prevent rework, and make better decisions," said Chaitanya NK, Co-Founder & CEO, Track3D. Together, the two companies enable owners to move beyond the question of "what did the project team report?" and toward "what is actually happening on site?" a distinction that has significant implications for how capital programs are managed, risks are identified, and decisions are made. "The mission of Zero RFI is to bring predictability to owners and developers through our operating companies, using technology to get it right the first time. Partnering with Track3D gives our clients a level of jobsite visibility that used to require dedicated personnel or specialized vendor relationships," said KP Reddy, founder and CEO of Zero RFI. "We handle the integration, the negotiation, and the delivery. Owners just get better data. By deploying a platform proven to consolidate over 20 job walks into a single efficient capture, Track3D helps us deliver predictability." The partnership reflects a broader shift in Construction Technology. While the industry has spent years digitizing documents and workflows, owners still need better ways to translate project data into answers that support timely decisions. This partnership positions both companies at the forefront of that shift, with a combined offering built specifically for the stakeholder most underserved by construction technology: the owner.
