OpenSpace

What is OpenSpace?

OpenSpace is a software tool for construction, built specifically for capturing reality on-site. It helps builders document and analyze their construction projects. You attach a camera, record the area you need to capture, and OpenSpace’s VisionEngine automatically maps those recordings onto your site plans. This creates a complete, as-built record of your building, from the beginning of construction through to handover and operation.

With OpenSpace, you can monitor project progress, verify that work is being done correctly, improve coordination, and reduce risk. Features like BIM Compare and Split View support this, and OpenSpace Track, which uses AI, adds project management capabilities. Field Notes make it simpler to communicate changes, document quality checks, and manage punch lists and RFIs. Integrations with existing project management software keep workflows smooth.
