Zeist, February 17, 2026 – Dutch construction company Wessels Zeist uses OpenSpace to visually document construction projects, provide clear insight into progress, and strengthen quality assurance processes. By leveraging 360° image capture, the project team always has access to an objective and up-to-date view of the jobsite.

In addition to improved progress visibility, OpenSpace is used as a factual record of site conditions. This enables Wessels Zeist to refer directly to visual evidence from a specific date in the event of discussions regarding progress, quality, or liability. It makes it easier to substantiate agreements and prevents misunderstandings with clients or subcontractors.

Objective progress data as the foundation for collaboration

By capturing images on a regular basis, teams create a visual timeline of the project. Project teams, preconstruction staff, and other stakeholders can remotely review and assess the current status without being physically present on site.

If discussions arise about progress at a certain moment in time, the timeline provides immediate clarity. The images objectively show the state of the work on that date. This prevents unnecessary debate and accelerates decision-making.

For us, OpenSpace is like an insurance policy. You only need to support a discussion or claim once with hard visual evidence, and the value becomes immediately clear.” – Paul Krijnen, Director at Construction Company Wessels Zeist

Supporting quality assurance and the Building Quality Assurance Act (Wkb)

OpenSpace also plays an important role in quality assurance. By systematically documenting completed work, the resulting visual record supports handover and compliance with the Dutch Building Quality Assurance Act (Wet kwaliteitsborging voor het bouwen, Wkb).

In addition, the solution is used for baseline measurements (as-is documentation) at the start of projects. By recording the existing condition of the building and its surroundings in advance, Wessels Zeist can later demonstrate the condition of the site at project start. This is particularly valuable in renovation projects, inner-city developments, and handover moments between parties.

With OpenSpace, our project teams gain a powerful tool that helps organize daily operations. At the same time, it’s exciting to work with new innovations.” – Sebastiaan van den Berg, BIM Coordinator at Construction Company Wessels Zeist.

More efficient communication through Field Notes

Teams use the Field Notes feature to capture findings and action items on a project. Project teams can link comments to a specific location within the project and share them with relevant partners.

This creates more centralized and structured communication around quality items, open actions, and handover points. Preconstruction and project management teams can easily follow along without information being scattered across separate emails or external systems.

The intuitive workflow ensures site managers can quickly adopt and consistently use the platform on-site.

Concrete impact for Wessels Zeist

The implementation of OpenSpace provides Wessels Zeist with:

  • Faster resolution of disputes with objective visual proof of progress
  • Less time spent searching and fewer site visits with remote access
  • Stronger quality assurance through baseline measurements and continuous visual documentation
  • More efficient collaboration with partners through centralized tracking of action items
  • Better substantiation of progress in reports and coordination meetings

Wessels Zeist demonstrates how visual data helps teams stay in control of progress and quality, without adding complexity to the workflow. We are proud that they use OpenSpace to make projects more transparent and enable teams to collaborate faster and more effectively. These types of digital steps not only help construction companies work more efficiently, but also support the growing need for demonstrable quality assurance.” – Sander Lijbers, Managing Director at OpenSpace.

Looking ahead: data-driven progress and project control

As part of its partnership with OpenSpace, Wessels Zeist is exploring how visual progress data can further strengthen project controls. This includes using objective data to measure percent complete by construction phase, supporting more accurate planning, reporting, and financial forecasting

By implementing OpenSpace, Construction Company Wessels Zeist is taking the next step toward a more transparent and data-driven way of building.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 3, 2026OpenSpace, the Visual Intelligence Platform for builders, today announced the general availability of OpenSpace Field, an image-based,  field-first solution for creating and managing tasks and issues that helps jobsite teams create, capture, document, and act on work items in real time.  

OpenSpace Field expands OpenSpace from a system of visual record into a system of visual action – connecting reality captured in the field directly to the workflows that drive execution, without replacing existing project management platforms. Built for smartphones and powered by breakthrough Spatial AI, OpenSpace Field enables jobsite teams to create and manage punch list items, observations, and issues dramatically faster, with rich visual context and seamless, bi-directional integrations with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

“The field is the most underutilized source of data in construction, and it’s where projects are truly won or lost,” said Jeevan Kalanithi, co-founder and CEO of OpenSpace. “OpenSpace Field puts the intelligence of the jobsite at the center of project execution, turning reality data into actionable insight that connects field and office. By making field data visible, connected, and easy to act on, teams can move faster, reduce risk, and drive better outcomes across the project.”

Designed for How Field Teams Actually Work

OpenSpace Field is designed for how construction teams actually work. Using a mobile-first workflow, field users can log issues during walks in seconds, without waiting until the end of the day or re-entering information back at the office. Every task is grounded in visual, spatial context, ensuring items are complete, properly assigned, and easy to understand by everyone involved.

Key capabilities available at general availability include:

  • Integrated Field Notes with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud – Field teams can create Procore Punch List Items and Observations, as well as Autodesk Construction Cloud Issues, directly within the OpenSpace app. All fields are mapped to the customer’s configured standards, with two-way syncing that eliminates double entry and data silos.
  • AI Autolocation – Automatically identifies and tags where an issue or task occurred on site, grounding every item in precise visual and spatial context without manual pinning. This proprietary technology represents a fundamental breakthrough: indoor location in real-time, with no need for any external hardware, on any site using OpenSpace.
  • AI Voice Notes – Enables hands-free capture of notes and issues using voice, reducing typing and speeding up documentation during field walks. Powered by AI, Voice Notes is more than simple transcription: it automatically fills out form fields, interprets ambiguous language, and allows the user to speak naturally – so issues are captured faster and more completely.
  • Enhanced camera experience and AI-powered Media Library – A new camera workflow and a robust Media Library make it easy to capture, organize, and retrieve jobsite imagery. AI-powered search – tuned for construction – allows teams to instantly find images by keyword or context, unlocking fast, visual answers to jobsite questions.

Together, these capabilities make visuals-to-action the default workflow, so issues can be raised, validated, and resolved while work is still in motion.

Proven Results from Early Users

Customers using OpenSpace Field during Early Access have already seen significant gains in speed, data quality, and follow-through. 

At T&H Investments, OpenSpace Field has reshaped the company’s standard quality control process and broader project execution.

“OpenSpace Field completely changed our inspection process,” said Caleb Vaughan, Superintendent, T&H Investments. “What used to take 3 to 4 hours now takes 30 minutes, and issues no longer get missed or ignored. With every item documented by photo and exact location, our subcontractors know exactly what to fix, and we can clearly verify it was done. The result is not just speed. It is work that actually gets done.” 

“OpenSpace Field gives us a data-driven view of our operations that helps us run our business better. It frees our field teams to plan further ahead, helps keep projects on schedule, and gives us a shared source of truth with our clients. That combination has become a competitive advantage for us in the Indianapolis market,” said Zach Shirley, Sr. Construction Project Manager, T&H Investments.

A Strategic Expansion of the OpenSpace Platform

OpenSpace Field is part of the OpenSpace Visual Intelligence Platform and is included in both OpenSpace Core and OpenSpace Enterprise offerings. Rather than replacing project management systems, OpenSpace Field is designed to complement them – serving as the intuitive front end for the field and the bridge between how reality is captured on-site and where work is managed.

By focusing on high-adoption capture through smartphones and connecting that data directly into Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud, OpenSpace enables cleaner data, faster issue resolution, improved remote coordination, and reduced rework, without forcing organizations to change their systems of record.

OpenSpace Field is generally available beginning February 3, 2026.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 9, 2025 – OpenSpace today announced a significant advancement in Spatial AI technology at its Waypoint customer summit, giving smartphones real-time indoor positioning capabilities. This breakthrough, a critical component of OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform, marks a new era for field productivity specifically, and location technology broadly.

Accurate location information is an intrinsic part to a vast number of modern experiences, including navigation, materials tracking, transport and more. Location information is in particular paramount for real-world jobs: those that take place in the field, not in offices. GPS has been a transformative technology, reshaping these experiences and workflows, however it does not operate indoors. Existing solutions that provide indoor location involve the installation and maintenance of hardware systems, such as Bluetooth Beacons, which can be costly and impractical, especially on construction sites.

OpenSpace’s new Spatial AI capabilities address this challenge by providing indoor location tracking without the need for specialized hardware. This patent pending advancement, called AI Autolocation, compares real-time sensor readings from a user’s smartphone with sensor maps generated from pre-existing 360° captures created on the OpenSpace platform. The result is an adaptive system that progressively refines its location estimations even as the jobsite itself changes over time. OpenSpace projects that, as the system matures, it will rival and ultimately exceed GPS-level accuracy, powered by ongoing machine learning.

This foundational innovation is first being deployed to power new capabilities in OpenSpace Field, a new system of work for field construction teams, also announced today. With AI Autolocation, notes and photos taken in the OpenSpace smartphone app are automatically pinned to floorplans and aligned to BIM in real-time. This automatic spatial awareness significantly reduces ambiguity, accelerates resolution, saves time, and keeps office and field teams in sync.

“For real-world industries, this is the biggest innovation since the shift from paper to PC,” said Michael Fleischman, co-founder and CTO at OpenSpace. “Construction sites are chaotic, ever-changing environments and achieving indoor positioning on smartphones required advances across different domains of Spatial Artificial Intelligence: sensor fusion, machine learning, dynamic map creation, and computational efficiency specifically for mobile devices. Delivering this breakthrough is a proud moment for OpenSpace and a testament that shows our commitment to unlocking the future of how construction teams work.”

Looking ahead, this AI Autolocation breakthrough lays the groundwork for advanced Spatial AI agents. While today’s AI agents specialize in processing text-oriented data, construction demands spatial awareness, combining image data and location to simplify, automate, and augment complex work. These Spatial AI agents will enable proactive issue detection and resolution by flagging issues in specific zones and suggesting immediate actions. They will also provide executive-level insights, with AI-powered summaries derived from visual and spatial data delivering clear, actionable guidance.

“The future of AI in construction will be one of human and AI collaboration, empowering teams to focus on essential work while AI delivers intelligent assistance and insights,” said Fleischman. “We’re excited to build that future with our customers.”

SAN FRANCISCO, September 9, 2025 – OpenSpace today launched its Visual Intelligence Platform at its Waypoint customer summit, introducing a new system of work for construction, turning reality data into intelligence that both powers field workflows like punch lists and logging issues and business insights like percent complete and productivity tracking. While ERP systems track financials and project management tools coordinate processes, neither provides true visibility into what’s really happening on site. OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform closes this gap by capturing field data in real time and turning it into intelligence that drives both daily action and executive insight. The Visual Intelligence Platform powers a transformation from document-centric workflows designed for office-centric businesses, to image-first workflows designed for the field-centric industries, like construction.

“With OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform, we finally have real-time visibility into what’s happening on all our projects, across our entire business,” said Paul Chambers, Project Director, Skanska UK. “Instead of relying on delayed reports, our teams can spot issues immediately, make faster decisions, and reduce costly surprises. It’s a new level of confidence for both our field teams and our leadership.”

OpenSpace has long led the industry in reality capture with products like OpenSpace Capture, OpenSpace BIM+, and OpenSpace Air, enabling builders to document jobsites with 360° cameras, drones, and laser scanners. Now, with OpenSpace Field and OpenSpace Progress Tracking, the company has evolved into a full Visual Intelligence Platform, transforming reality data to simplify workflows and generate insights that drive clarity and better, faster decision-making.

Today’s launch introduces OpenSpace Field, a field-first system of work powered by breakthrough Spatial AI. With just a smartphone, teams can capture, track, and manage site data, with every image automatically pinned to the right location in floorplans and aligned to BIM models. These capabilities integrate with tools like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud, giving teams a seamless way to coordinate and get work done. With reality data at the center of their workflows, they can move beyond traditional document-based tools. OpenSpace Field beta customers have reported an 85% time savings when addressing common field tasks like punch lists and logging issues.

“What I like most about OpenSpace is how easy it is for our crews to use,” said Felipe Dominguez, product manager, construction technology at Suffolk. “With the new AI features of OpenSpace Field, we can take a photo, say what we see, and trigger work in our project management system. It saves us time, and it helps all of our stakeholders, from trade partners to owners, stay aligned to keep the project moving forward.”

In addition to OpenSpace Field, OpenSpace Progress Tracking adds powerful capabilities to OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform. The comprehensive, flexible, and reliable solution turns reality data into high-level insights to validate work-in-place for billing, identify schedule risks early by comparing actual progress to planned milestones, and deliver trusted progress summaries to all stakeholders. It also integrates with schedules in P6, Asta, Microsoft Project and Excel.

“For years, reality capture has been treated as a nice-to-have—useful for documentation or dispute resolution,” said Jeevan Kalanithi, co-founder and CEO of OpenSpace. “With today’s launch, we are moving beyond reality capture, and redefining reality data as a strategic asset that simplifies workflows and fuels results, from the field to the C-Suite. Looking forward, we plan to expand on image-first workflows and bring clarity to every project, every portfolio, every business, and to the industry at large.”

FedRAMP Moderate solution helps government teams build more efficiently, reduce costly site visits, and gain real-time visibility into project status and progress 

 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — July 8, 2025OpenSpace, the leader in 360° construction capture and AI-powered site documentation, today announced it has achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, becoming the first and only 360° reality capture platform authorized for use on secure construction projects and facilities. OpenSpace’s commercial offering, used to capture more than 50 billion square feet of active construction projects around the world and in all 50 states including the District of Columbia, is now certified at the FedRAMP Moderate level and available for United States federal agencies.

With this milestone, agencies delivering construction projects can use OpenSpace to easily capture and share site conditions, modernize inspections and documentation, and gain clearer visibility into project progress–all while maintaining the highest data security standards. As a result, teams can operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and limit travel. OpenSpace is sponsored by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and is an authorized service on SMX’s Elevate platform. To find OpenSpace on the FedRAMP marketplace, search for “SMX” and locate “OpenSpace” in the list of Authorized Services.

“We’re proud to deliver the first 360 reality capture solution that meets the security and compliance standards federal agencies require,” said Robert Shear, vice president of strategy at OpenSpace. “By providing simple, secure visual documentation, OpenSpace gets everyone on the same page with a single shared view that reduces misunderstandings, cuts down on travel, and helps teams make faster, more informed decisions—whether they’re managing a single project or an entire portfolio.”

Built for Federal Construction and Facility Management Teams

Deployed on more than 250 GSA projects to date, OpenSpace’s platform creates a collaborative as-built record of a jobsite by aggregating reality data such as 360° cameras and mobile phones, and automatically aligning it to both floor plans and BIM models, with a timestamp. With a complete visual record of current and historical site condition, agencies and contractors can remotely manage projects, spot discrepancies before they become problems, and streamline coordination between the field and office to speed up issue resolution. 

In addition to FedRAMP, OpenSpace is SOC2 Type 2 compliant, with advanced permissioning, and integration with Login.gov, offering a secure, scalable solution ready for use across an agency’s entire portfolio.

OpenSpace’s reality capture platform gets a boost with Disperse’s milestone-based progress tracking, empowering project teams to detect issues earlier and drive greater efficiency

 

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4, 2025 – OpenSpace, the global leader in 360° reality capture and AI-powered analytics, today announced the launch of OpenSpace Progress Tracking. Powered by Disperse, the new milestone-based solution helps construction teams quickly capture visual jobsite data and generate actionable insights, enabling earlier detection of productivity issues and cost overruns.

OpenSpace Progress Tracking can be used to validate work-in-place for billing, identify schedule risks early by comparing actual progress to planned milestones, coordinate more effectively across trades, and deliver clear, visual progress summaries to all stakeholders. As a result, teams can make more informed decisions and better manage project schedules and budgets.

“OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse’s advanced analytics, allows us to spot productivity issues much earlier in the project — sometimes as early as 10% completion — giving us critical time to address them before they escalate,” said Vito Antuofermo, Vice President, Commodore Construction. “In the past, we might not have realized significant cost overruns until halfway through a project, often too late to fully correct course. This early visibility helps us prevent costly delays and improve overall project outcomes.”

Disperse, a leader in construction progress tracking, specializes in milestone-based progress tracking and reporting. Disperse’s platform combines jobsite imagery with expert human verification to provide an objective, trusted, and detailed view of what’s been built — and what hasn’t. 

OpenSpace Progress Tracking marks a meaningful evolution of the company’s previous approach to progress tracking. By pairing OpenSpace’s AI-powered reality capture platform with Disperse’s analysis, the solution provides highly accurate, flexible, and scalable progress tracking – with no additional resources from the project team needed.  

Key features of OpenSpace Progress Tracking include:

  • Reliable, rapid capture: 25,000 sq. ft. in just 10 minutes; image data viewable in around 15 minutes
  • Automated mapping: Images linked to plans and optional BIM models
  • Comprehensive quantification of work-in-place: Over 700 visual components across 200+ program tasks
  • Customizable insights: Structured reports delivered to meet specific project needs, such as by phase, trade, or entire project
  • Highly flexible: Adaptable for individual project requirements
  • BIM-aware, not BIM-dependent: Functional with or without BIM models
  • Integrated with project scheduling software: Supports P6, Asta, Microsoft Project, Excel schedules, and more

“OpenSpace Progress Tracking offers a smarter, more advanced alternative to our previous progress tracking solutions. We’re now combining the speed and scale of our reality capture platform with Disperse’s milestone-based insights to unlock a new level of clarity on the construction site,” said Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO and co-founder of OpenSpace. “Project teams gain reliable, up-to-date information they can act on, helping them spot and resolve issues sooner, reduce costly rework, and keep construction moving efficiently. It’s about turning complex data into clear guidance so teams can stay ahead.”

OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse, is available now as an add-on to OpenSpace Capture subscription licenses. Pricing is based on the scope of tracking required and the number of projects.

Included in every OpenSpace subscription, OpenSpace Air gives construction firms the power to consolidate all reality data, including drone imagery, in one place for quicker decision-making and better collaboration

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14, 2025 – OpenSpace, a global leader in 360° reality capture and AI-powered analytics for the construction industry, today announced OpenSpace Air, a new solution that enables construction teams to consolidate all reality data – from drones, 360° cameras, mobile phones, and laser scanners – into a comprehensive visual record accessible from a single platform. Included in every OpenSpace subscription, OpenSpace Air helps construction teams boost technology adoption in the field while giving executives better visibility into project progress for more confident decision-making and stronger client trust. 

“With the drone data integration from OpenSpace, we can now expand outside the four walls of a building to show things that we weren’t able to see before, from an extremely valuable perspective,” said Scott Wyatt, Project Executive at Gilbane Construction. “Overall, being able to identify items on the project earlier and create efficiencies in our platforms is a big win.” 

Aerial data from drones delivers value across the project lifecycle, from pre-construction planning and estimation to site surveys, topographic mapping, marketing, and client communications. By pairing aerial imagery with interior reality capture, OpenSpace Air equips teams with a powerful tool to drive insights, improve planning accuracy, and keep projects on track.

With no limits on the number of projects, users, or drone captures, OpenSpace Air is available immediately to all OpenSpace customers with an active subscription. Teams can now import drone imagery and interact with it alongside their existing reality capture data in the OpenSpace platform. 

Quickly and easily import and interact with drone imagery

Building on OpenSpace’s core principles of ease-of-use, reliability, and speed, OpenSpace Air leverages powerful Spatial AI technology to deliver reliable, rapid insights for immediate decision making. Key features include:

  • Fast upload and processing: Upload 500 images at breakfast – and get results by lunch.
  • Drone agnostic: Compatible with any popular drone and flight planning app – no need for specialized hardware or software.
  • Comprehensive reality data: Access orthomosaics, point clouds, 3D meshes, and elevation models, in addition to the 360° video, mobile photos, and laser scans already available in the OpenSpace platform.
  • Precise analysis tools: Overlay drawings directly onto the map for easy planning and verification.
  • Visual comparison: Compare multiple drone flights to track changes and progress over time.
  • iOS and Android compatible: Field teams can interact with drone imagery on both iOS and Android devices, increasing on-site adoption.
