The Toronto Sun has featured OpenSpace AI in a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is reshaping homebuilding across the Greater Toronto Area. Published in February 2026 by journalist Josh Sherman, the article spotlights Dunpar Homes using OpenSpace at their 26 Earlington luxury apartment project in Toronto, where project director Taylor Rogers credits the platform with saving “tens of thousands of dollars.” As housing affordability challenges push developers to find efficiencies, OpenSpace is emerging as a tool at the forefront of construction’s AI adoption wave.
Construction teams have always faced the challenge of maintaining accurate, real-time records of what is happening on a jobsite. Disputes with trade partners, errors in material estimates, and costly rework can drain budgets fast. OpenSpace addresses this directly by enabling workers to capture immersive, photorealistic 3D documentation of their sites simply by walking the floors with a camera. The result is a timestamped, searchable visual record that teams can access from anywhere. At Dunpar Homes’ 26 Earlington project in Toronto, that capability has proven its value: when questions arise about what was completed and when, the answer is already captured in OpenSpace. The platform also integrates with drone footage to enable accurate volumetric calculations for earthwork, taking the guesswork out of planning and procurement.
The Toronto Sun’s coverage reflects a broader industry inflection point. AI adoption among GTA homebuilders has accelerated sharply as tight market conditions push developers to find leverage wherever they can. OpenSpace is built for exactly this environment: it gives project teams better information, faster, so they can make smarter decisions in the field. Whether resolving disputes, tracking construction progress, or calculating material needs, OpenSpace turns documentation from a time-consuming obligation into a strategic asset. As affordability pressures mount and labour constraints continue to shape the industry, tools that reduce rework, cut waste, and keep projects on schedule will move from competitive advantage to baseline expectation.
