We rounded up the most common themes we heard and provided answers to help you see how OpenSpace Field fits into real-world workflows. We’ll start with an overview of OpenSpace Field which our host, Product Manager Wesley DuBose, did a great job of describing during the webinar. (To see the demo, catch the on-demand recording anytime.)

What Is OpenSpace Field?

Construction teams have long trusted OpenSpace as a visual record—powered by 360° captures, drone imagery, and time-stamped documentation.

With OpenSpace Field, that foundation expands. OpenSpace is now a Visual Intelligence Platform that connects jobsite capture to real field workflows. In short, OpenSpace Field is an image- and location-based solution for creating and managing tasks and issues on the jobsite.

OpenSpace Field brings together:

• AI-powered field workflows.
• Faster QA/QC and punch processes with AI Voice Notes (talk to create issues instead of typing) and AI Autolocation (real-time autolocation on your plans).
• Seamless two-way integrations with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Field teams can capture photos with their smartphones, 360° walkthroughs, drone imagery, and notes. But now, they have AI assistance to significantly speed up creating issues, including automatically mapping items on the correct spot.

You can create Procore Punch Items and Observations and ACC Issues directly in OpenSpace. Saving even more time, updates in both systems sync both ways—no double entry needed. Whether you’re working in OpenSpace or in Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud, your data stays aligned and up to date.

The result: less typing, less backfilling, and more time spent building.

Integrations & connected workflows

Does OpenSpace integrate with systems other than Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud?

During the webinar, several attendees asked about integrations with other construction platforms such as CMiC and Fieldwire.

Today, OpenSpace Field has built-in two-way sync integrations with:

• Procore Punch List Items and Observations
• Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Issues

However, if you’re using another solution where a direct integration is not yet available, you may be able to use our Field Notes API (available with an Enterprise subscription) to support custom workflows. If you’re a customer interested in connecting another system, reach out to your OpenSpace representative to discuss options.

Do Punch Items & Observations have to originate in Procore & Issues in ACC?

No. One of the key advantages of OpenSpace Field is that you can create Procore Punch Items and Observations and ACC Issues directly in OpenSpace on your phone while walking the site. Once saved, the item automatically pushes to Procore or ACC.

From there, two-way sync keeps everything aligned. Updates made in Procore or ACC appear in OpenSpace, and updates made in OpenSpace appear in Procore or ACC.

Field teams can capture and log issues significantly faster using the OpenSpace app, while the system of record stays up to date. For example, top ENR general contractor Suffolk Construction was an early customer. They report that an issue that took 3-5 minutes per punch item in their previous workflow takes 25-30 seconds per item using OpenSpace Field. That’s a 5x speed increase. Plus they also saw a 5x increase in the number of notes taken.

Do photos taken in the OpenSpace app automatically upload to Procore Daily Log?

No, photos captured in OpenSpace do not currently push to the Procore Daily Log. As noted in the previous question, OpenSpace Field has two-way integrations with Procore Observations and Punch List Items.

Pricing & product availability

How much does OpenSpace cost?

OpenSpace offers two subscription choices: Core and Enterprise. Both include access to the Visual Intelligence Platform for capturing, managing, and sharing site reality. Pricing is based on your annual construction volume (ACV) and the subscription tier you choose. This ensures pricing scales with how much you build, not per user or per project. The more ACV you add, the better the pricing.

For context, OpenSpace projects start at around $10,000. OpenSpace Progress Tracking is available as an add-on to Core and Enterprise subscriptions. Find more information on subscriptions our Pricing page where you can also request a custom quote.

Is AI Autolocation available now?

Yes. All OpenSpace Field capabilities—including AI Autolocation—are now generally available.

If you’re an existing OpenSpace customer, OpenSpace Field is included in your subscription, and AI Autolocation can be used today in the mobile app.

AI Autolocation allows you to automatically place issues on the correct location in a floor plan while walking the site. Like GPS for indoors, our AI pins your Field Notes on your exact location, in real time. No more pinching and zooming on your plans. No more manual tagging.

Punch lists, QA/QC & your current workflows

Do teams have to change their existing process?

A question from the webinar asked how OpenSpace fits into established punch list workflows, especially when owners or architects are involved.

The short answer: With OpenSpace Field, you don’t need to change your existing process.

For example, if your team already manages punch lists in Procore, you can continue doing that. The difference is you can create items in OpenSpace while walking the site, and your items sync to Procore automatically. And everything stays in sync both ways. Same with ACC Issues.

General contractors, specialty subcontractors, and all teams still manage their workflows how they want. But now they can do it much faster, with rich visuals and details, and automatic location pinning—right from the field.

How can subcontractors use OpenSpace to document installations & avoid backcharges?

Attendees asked about using OpenSpace to document work for liability protection or backcharge prevention. Because OpenSpace captures time-stamped visual documentation of the jobsite, trades can create a clear record of:

• Installation progress.
• Conditions before drywall or finishes.
• Work completed before other trades arrive.

Combined with issue tracking in OpenSpace Field, this documentation can help resolve disputes or verify scope completion later in the project.

What tasks can AI help with for trades like electrical?

AI in OpenSpace Field reduces manual data entry for common field workflows. For example, teams can use AI Voice Notes to dictate an issue such as:

“Install missing conduit clamp. Electrical room level two. Assign to the electrical subcontractor.”

OpenSpace converts the voice note into a Field Note, automatically filling in the description and helping populate other fields. This speeds up documentation without requiring teams to type out detailed reports in the field. And don’t worry about loud jobsites: AI Voice Notes can hear through the noise.

Project data & deliverables

What happens to OpenSpace captures at the end of a project?

OpenSpace hosts your project data while you remain a customer.

At project closeout, you can also request an Offline Deliverable—a file of an OpenSpace project that you can store locally on your server. Offline Deliverables are great for closeout documentation or packages. The project data is viewable by anyone with access to the file. Learn more in our Support article.

Project types & scalability

Can OpenSpace support heavy civil projects & drone imagery?

Yes. OpenSpace supports drone workflows through OpenSpace Air. You can ingest and analyze aerial imagery on large or outdoor sites, making it perfect for heavy civil and infrastructure projects where ground captures alone may not provide full visibility.

Can OpenSpace handle hundreds of projects at the same time?

One attendee asked if OpenSpace can support large portfolios—for example, organizations managing 500 or more concurrent projects. The answer is absolutely yes. OpenSpace can scale to fit any size project, including entire portfolios. In fact, our Visual Intelligence Platform is powering more than 89K projects for teams in over 130 countries.

AI Autolocation on repetitive building layouts

Does AI Autolocation work on buildings with repeated unit layouts?

We were asked how AI Autolocation performs on buildings with identical floor plans, such as apartment or condo projects where units repeat across levels.

AI Autolocation can pinpoint where you are within the building and can differentiate locations even when layouts look similar. It can also recognize when you move between floors and prompt them to confirm the correct level before continuing.

The post OpenSpace Field demo: frequently asked questions appeared first on OpenSpace.

There’s a thesis gaining traction in technology circles that should concern every vertical SaaS company in construction: the rise of AI agents will eventually render most vertical SaaS products obsolete. Tools like Claude and ChatGPT are getting good enough that the text-driven workflows sitting on top of CRM databases—which is what most construction project management software really is—will be replicated and customized by agents that any company can configure for itself.

Your competition is no longer the other SaaS vendor in your space. Your competition is the frontier AI labs. And they are coming fast.

And I gotta say: this thesis feels mostly right.

So what wins? What is the durable position in a world where agents can replicate any text-based workflow?

The answer is data. Specifically, unique, proprietary data that agents need—but cannot generate themselves.

And that is the thesis of this piece: OpenSpace, the Visual Intelligence Platform for builders, is a data platform. And in the agentic era, the companies that generate the data layers for the $13 trillion construction industry will redefine how that industry can operate. Those companies that don’t… will be left out in the cold.

Two revolutions collide

There are two revolutions converging on construction right now. If you’re paying attention to only one, you’ll be blindsided by the other.

The first is Visual Intelligence: the shift from digital experiences centered around words, numbers, and spreadsheets to experiences that are centered on visual information, like maps, photos, and videos. This revolution was enabled by the explosion of camera technology: cheap, connected, powerful, everywhere. You saw this trend in social media (Facebook => Instagram), and Apple has embraced the term in the past couple years. People like pictures! And for real world industries like construction, Visual Intelligence is even more important, since these businesses are defined by what gets done in the field, not just what’s on paper. Visual Intelligence allows construction to shift from processes centered on documents and opinions, to managing execution with visual truth and facts.

The second revolution is Agentic AI: autonomous software agents that don’t just answer questions but take action. Agents that reason across data sources, compose multi-step workflows, and execute on behalf of users. Agentic AI is revolutionizing industries across the board. And agentic workflows for construction are maturing rapidly—not turnkey today, but getting there fast.

Here’s what the construction technology industry hasn’t fully grasped: these two revolutions are about to collide, and the companies that own the data layers where they meet will shape the industry’s next decade.

Why data beats analytics—every time

Let me be direct about where value is migrating.

In the AI era, document and text-oriented analytics will be commoditized. This is not speculation—it’s already happening. Any reasonably structured text-like dataset can be fed to an LLM, which can then generate insights, summaries, risk assessments, and recommendations. The analytical capabilities that SaaS companies spent years building into their products are being replicated by general-purpose AI in months. If your moat is “we built a nice dashboard on top of structured text data,” that moat is evaporating.

What cannot be commoditized is the data itself—especially data that is unique, difficult to capture, and essential for reasoning about physical reality.

Consider what the dominant construction technology platforms store: documents. Drawings, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, contracts, change orders. This is important information. But it is also exactly the kind of text-oriented, document-based data that LLMs are purpose-built to process. Feed a project’s RFI log and schedule into Claude, and it can generate a credible risk assessment today. Feed it the full document set and a well-designed prompt, and it can replicate significant chunks of what a project management platform does.

Now consider what OpenSpace captures: spatially indexed 360° imagery of active construction sites. Drone-captured aerial data. Smartphone photos with AI-generated indoor positioning. Voice-enriched Field Notes automatically tied to physical locations. Verified progress tracking data that combines computer vision with expert human review. All of it organized by space and time—a continuously updated, machine-readable record of physical reality.

No LLM can generate this data. No competitor can replicate it without doing what we’ve done: putting cameras on 90,000+ projects across 125 countries and building the Spatial AI to make sense of 60+ billion square feet of captured reality—operating at true scale to gather, organize, and make sense of this data.

This is the asymmetry that matters. While analytics gets commoditized, unique data capture becomes more valuable—because it becomes the necessary fuel that every agent, every analytics product, and every workflow must consume.

You know that phrase, data is the new oil? It’s true. Data is fuel. Analytics is the combustion engine, and today, you can build many engines (aka agents) for very cheap. But you can’t just fabricate the fuel from nothing.

And without fuel, you get nowhere, fast.

The OpenSpace data platform

When we unveiled the Visual Intelligence Platform at Waypoint 2025, we described it as the shift from document-centric to image-first workflows. We introduced AI Autolocation—a breakthrough that turns every smartphone into a real-time indoor positioning system, eliminating the need for costly and annoying hardware beacons. We launched OpenSpace Field, which lets any worker on a jobsite generate spatially indexed, AI-enriched data just by walking and talking. We acquired Disperse and launched Progress Tracking, which combines AI analysis with expert human verification to deliver trusted, visual progress data.

All of this drove real results—86% speed improvements in issue documentation for customers like Suffolk. 50% reduction in travel budgets. 41% fewer insurance claims for builders using the technology.

But those products are the face of our strategy. Here’s the heart.

OpenSpace is building the data platform for construction’s agentic future. Every image, every spatial index, every verified progress data point feeds a structured, queryable layer that any AI agent can consume. Our agents. Autodesk’s agents. Procore’s agents. Trimble’s agents. Oracle’s agents. Palantir’s agents. Anthropic’s agents. The data is the product.

This is the unlock. Not a one-size-fits-all application. A data-powered agent layer that adapts to each organization, each project, each trade.

I wish I could reveal more about this now, but rest assured, you’re going to hear a lot more from us soon.

Watch this space.

To the builders: this is for you

We started OpenSpace because construction deserves better tools—tools built around how the jobsite actually works, not how software companies imagine it works.

We know construction is one of the hardest things human beings do, and that no AI will replace a great superintendent’s judgment. What we can do is make that judgment better informed and faster to act on. Your business becomes more predictable: you find productivity problems at 10% completion instead of 50%. More profitable: fewer insurance claims. Fewer change orders. Accelerated payment cycles with progress verification based on visual truth. And most importantly, this technology works the way you work.

As one superintendent told me this year, what he loves about our tools is that “your new way is like the old way”—fast, visual, based on walking the job, seeing what’s real, making a call, and moving on. Not drowning field teams in (digital) paperwork.

The future of construction technology isn’t about making builders learn new software. It’s about making software disappear into the work.

To the technology platforms: this is for you

You’ve built companies that millions of professionals rely on. You orchestrate complex workflows across owners, GCs, subs, and architects—multi-party coordination that agents can’t replicate overnight. You’ve earned enterprise trust, contractual relationships, and real switching costs. These are meaningful advantages.

But think honestly about the timeline. Agentic capabilities are compounding. Construction companies are already experimenting with custom agents, and while these still require fine-tuning, they’re progressing fast. You have time to react—but not as much as you might think.

At the end of the day, construction runs on whether work got done, got done right, and got done on time. That’s how builders get paid. The data that answers those questions—objective, visual, spatially indexed, continuously updated—is reality data. Documents, drawings and models describe intent. Reality data describes what is. Every coordination workflow, every payment application, every design comparison ultimately bottoms out on that question: what actually happened on the jobsite?

We’re building the layer that makes every platform more intelligent. Agents built on Procore, Autodesk, Trimble, Oracle, or Palantir all get better when they can see—when they access a spatially indexed photographic record of what’s actually happening, not just what someone typed into a log. While you navigate the agent transition and compete with AI labs over who builds the best workflows, we provide the unique data every agent needs. That’s powerful for all of us, if we build it together.

To the technology community

OpenSpace sits at the intersection of two compelling theses. The vertical data thesis: the most durable AI companies will have proprietary, hard-to-replicate data in specific industries. The agentic infrastructure thesis: as agents proliferate, value accrues to the data and tool layers agents depend on, not to the agents themselves.

We have the data—the largest structured visual dataset in construction. The vertical AI expertise—Spatial AI, computer vision, indoor positioning, progress analytics with human-in-the-loop verification. And we’re building the agentic infrastructure that transforms our data into a platform.

Construction is a $13 trillion global industry that still manages its most critical asset—the physical jobsite—through documents and human memory. OpenSpace is building the data layer that replaces guesswork with ground truth. In the agentic era, that layer is not a feature. It is the foundation.

What comes next

When AI agents need to verify work completion, compare progress to schedule, or ground a recommendation in evidence—they’ll query OpenSpace data. Whether built by us, by Autodesk, by Palantir, or by a construction company using Claude—agents will need to see. We are how they see.

While SaaS companies take on the transition to an agent-native world, we’ll provide the fuel that every agent runs on. While the AI labs build increasingly powerful reasoning engines, we’ll provide the unique construction reality data those engines need to be useful. While construction companies begin experimenting with building their own agents, we’ll provide the framework that makes it possible.

The question isn’t whether the agentic era is coming for construction. It’s here. The question is whether you’re building on the data layer that makes it real.

We know where we stand. Come build with us!

The post Celebrating top OpenSpace users of 2025 appeared first on OpenSpace.

One key lesson I’ve learned: the difference between a smooth project and a stalled one often comes down to how quickly issues are communicated, and how quickly others act on them.

I’ve lived this reality. I’ve been the guy walking the jobsite, juggling multiple tasks, spotting issues, snapping photos, and telling myself, “I’ll remember that later.” But all too often, “later” meant scrambling at the end of the day to piece together what that photo was supposed to mean.

I know I’m not alone. If you’ve worked in the field, you’ve felt this pain! That’s why I’m excited about AI Voice Notes—a feature in our new OpenSpace Field solution.

Forms aren’t built for the field

Construction moves fast, and time is rarely on your side. On a real jobsite, stopping to fill out a form—especially something like an observation or task—isn’t always realistic. Not because it’s hard, but because it’s slow.

You’re faced with a wall of blank fields: status, location, description, assignee, due date. You know what to say, but you don’t have the time to hunt and peck on your phone screen or click through a dozen dropdowns. So instead you snap a picture, thinking (and hoping!) you’ll remember what it was about later.

But here’s the catch: a photo without context isn’t action. It’s a reminder, and it sits in “draft” mode.

AI Voice Notes is a better way

When we rely only on photos or delayed documentation we miss the immediacy of context. What makes a Field Note truly actionable is knowing what the image is, where it is, why it matters, and what needs to happen next.

That’s where AI Voice Notes comes in—it changes how quickly and easily that context gets captured.

Instead of typing, you just talk—pairing your voice with an image. OpenSpace AI fills out the form for you, and just like that, your Field Note is documented and it’s ready to go.

“Cracked corner at recessed drywall by the TV in room 201. Assign to Jim from the Drywall Company. Make it due Friday.”

In seconds, your note is complete. No guesswork later. No delay in getting it routed to the right person. No bottleneck in moving the project forward.

Why it makes a difference

Let’s break down what happens when you can capture context immediately:

• Create and fill out a Field Note faster. No more toggling through fields to complete or struggling to find time at the end of the day.
• Ensure more meaningful communication. A picture alone isn’t enough—pairing an image with real context makes it clear and complete.
• Assign the issue quickly. The right person sees the issue in real time—no need to wait for a summary email.
• Get faster action and results. The faster the loop from issue identification to action, the more momentum the project keeps.

Built for the realities of the field

AI Voice Notes is about accelerating the project management best practices you already have in place. It eliminates the biggest friction point in field documentation: slow and manual data entry. And it does so in a way that fits naturally into your jobsite workflow—by using your voice and the camera on your smartphone. That’s it.

No competitor offers this kind of hands-free, AI-powered field documentation. Others may let you record voice or attach photos, but OpenSpace fills in all the fields automatically—making the note complete and immediately actionable.

Plus, pairing AI Voice Notes with AI Autolocation—our groundbreaking technology that pins your Field Notes on your exact location, in real time (even indoors)—you can reduce documentation time 5-10x.

Final thought: let the work flow

Every project manager, super, and foreman knows the value of momentum. When issues are handled quickly, everything runs smoother. That’s why I believe in AI Voice Notes—a shift in how the jobsite communicates. The faster you can capture context, the faster someone can act—and the faster you can close it out.

And in construction, closing the loop quickly is everything you need to keep the project moving forward.

The post A new, faster way to fix a problem on the jobsite appeared first on OpenSpace.

It changes today with OpenSpace Field

We’re excited to announce a better way. Introducing OpenSpace Field, an image-based solution for creating and managing tasks and issues in the field. And powered by groundbreaking AI Autolocation technology (built with our Spatial AI). Create, capture, and route work items dramatically faster—with rich visual context and deep, two-way sync with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

OpenSpace Field is for the people doing the work. It makes the field visible, connected, and actionable for everyone, from boots on the ground to the executive suite.

Jobsite data is powerful, but underutilized

Field teams continuously observe, document, and solve problems. But too often the information they collect gets lost in text-heavy reports, disorganized photos, or disconnected systems. What can typically happen:

• When logging issues takes too long, you might delay or skip doing it entirely
• You can easily miss critical details like location, trade, assignee, or due date
• Photos are scattered across phones, texts, and emails, without spatial context
• When the tools you use to document issues aren’t designed for the field, you might avoid using them or end up doing double data entry

These challenges are a problem. You can end up with incomplete data, delayed decisions, unnecessary rework, and avoidable risk. With OpenSpace Field, the jobsite becomes a reliable source of intelligence, not a missed opportunity.

Built for how the field actually works

As an image-first solution, OpenSpace Field gives jobsite teams a fast, intuitive way to create and manage tasks on-site.

You’ll experience the difference immediately. Less typing. Fewer steps. More work captured while it’s happening, with GPS-like location—even indoors. All with speed and simplicity. Just like everything we deliver at OpenSpace, we’re making your work easier, not changing it.

Visual clarity

On-the-spot, visual context that eliminates guesswork and back-and-forth. Every task, issue, report in OpenSpace Field is anchored directly to jobsite images, and pinned to their exact location on your plan. That means everyone—from superintendents to subcontractors to project managers—can see exactly what’s happening and act with confidence.

Mobile workflows

Intuitive workflows, built for the smartphone in your pocket and supercharged with AI, that reduce documentation time 5-10x and ensure your data is complete.

• AI Autolocation (like GPS for indoors) pins your Field Notes on your exact location, in real time. No more pinching and zooming on your plans. No more manual tagging.
• AI Voice Notes technology enables you to create Field Notes by talking instead of typing. OpenSpace AI takes your words and fills in all the details for you (like status, tag, and assignee), in the right place.

Connected systems

Seamless two-way sync with Procore and ACC with Integrated Field Notes. No double entry. Your system of record stays the same, but now you can get work done easier and without slowing down your walk in OpenSpace. Create Procore Punch List Items and Observations, plus ACC Issues in the OpenSpace mobile app, making them quicker and simpler to find, on-site and on the go. Both systems stay in sync. Automatically.

Answers at your fingertips

Capture, organize, and easily find photos you take in OpenSpace with our camera overhaul in the mobile app and a new AI-powered Media Library. Take all the photos you want—as part of a Field Note, or not—without interrupting your workflow. We automatically index every image, making it a breeze to find what you want with AI Search (by keyword or context). Get visual answers about your project right away.

Easy to adopt & scale

Put simply, OpenSpace Field turns your smartphone into a true jobsite tool—technology built for the field, not retrofitted for it. In fact, early customer Suffolk Construction reports:

• 85% faster issue logging
• 95% completion of all required data fields, including trades, drawings, zones, locations, due dates, and task owners

An issue that used to take 3–5 minutes to log—and often happened after the walk—can now be done in about 30 seconds. While teams are still in the field. Doing their normal work.

Because OpenSpace Field works how you do and requires minimal training, you’ll see high adoption across projects of all sizes. That equates to richer data for every team, and compounding value over time.

OpenSpace Field completely changed our inspection process. What used to take 3–4 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.

Advancing the OpenSpace Visual Intelligence Platform

OpenSpace Field marks a major step in our transformation to a Visual Intelligence Platform. Working alongside our industry-leading 360° reality capture, this new set of capabilities turns jobsite reality into actionable intelligence, connecting what teams see on-site to the actions and decisions that move projects forward. This launch is just the beginning of our investment in image-first, field-driven workflows that reduce risk, increase speed, and bring clarity to construction.

Get started with OpenSpace Field

The future of construction starts in the field. And now the technology does too. This is more than better documentation. It’s clearer communication and speedier resolution, powered by the field. OpenSpace Field improves QA/QC and safety workflows, reduces unnecessary complexity for the people doing the work, and turns jobsite reality into real intelligence.

• You’ve captured more than a million drone images in OpenSpace, and counting
• You’ve reported 41% fewer insurance claims when using OpenSpace, driven by clearer documentation and faster decisions

These numbers are fun (50 billion square feet of imagery is a lot!), but they also show something deeper: the industry is shifting toward visual, reality-based ways of working. It’s just faster. It’s just easier. And it’s more trusted. And you’re leading the charge.

I’d like to share a handful of customer spotlights that shine a light on your successes::

• Suffolk Construction was an invaluable partner as we built OpenSpace Field. And the results speak volumes: Suffolk saw an 86% speed improvement in documenting issues using AI Autolocation and AI Voice Notes. Along with incredible time savings, their notes are high quality with properly assigned trades, drawings, zones, location, and other critical data. Watch this Waypoint session for more details.
• Our collaboration with Gilbane on OpenSpace Air is another example of great solutions coming out of great partnerships. Their feedback helped shape OpenSpace Air into the flexible, fully integrated, easy-to-use tool it is today. Check out the blog they wrote about our work together and how having drone imagery in OpenSpace means Gilbane doesn’t have to switch platforms or waste time with fragmented data.
• We’re inspired by the work Gap İnşaat is doing to improve safety workflows with their use of Field Notes in OpenSpace. By connecting Field Notes with Power BI, they’ve turned a manual, one-day-a-week reporting process into real-time visibility. Now, dashboards refresh every morning—a reduction of reporting time to near zero, safety observations are up 8X, and managers can take action the same day issues arise. Impressive numbers!

2025: OpenSpace evolves into a Visual Intelligence Platform

We first announced Visual Intelligence at Waypoint 2025, and we’ve been talking about it since. When we started OpenSpace, the mission was simple—make it incredibly easy to document what’s happening on-site. Walk, capture, done. That was step one.

But capturing images was only the beginning. Builders need more than more photos—they need intelligence from those photos. Intelligence that’s fast, accurate, and embedded directly in the way the field works.

This year, that evolution became real. We’re using AI to understand what’s in your images and place them in the right context. And we’re reinventing punch, QA/QC, safety, and other workflows, to be fundamentally faster and more reliable, because they’re oriented around reality, not just words. Finally, and most importantly, Visual Intelligence surfaces the insights you need via our OpenSpace Progress Tracking product—when and where you need them, from the field to the office to the executive suite.

When you can truly see the state of the project, everything gets better. You get fewer surprises. Faster decisions. Better coordination. Lower risk. Teams aligned around the truth.

Here are some important ways our Visual Intelligence Platform is coming to life:

• OpenSpace Air: We brought drone imagery into the platform, giving you ground-to-sky visibility from day zero. Upload imagery from any drone and get orthomosaics, 3D meshes, and point clouds—automatically processed and connected to everything else happening on your site. And this month we’re adding more power to OpenSpace Air with measurement capabilities for distance, slope, area, volume, and cut/fill and virtual control points to help improve the alignment accuracy of orthomosaics.
• OpenSpace Progress Tracking: Following a partnership we announced in June, and months of working together and validating the technology in the field, we acquired Disperse, our progress tracking partner. This brings industry-leading, verified progress analytics directly into OpenSpace, which gives you trustworthy insight into what’s built and what’s not, so you can stay ahead of schedule and avoid costly surprises.
• OpenSpace Field (currently in Early Access): This is a big one. For the first time, field teams can use the device they already rely on—the smartphone—to capture site conditions, log issues, and record observations in seconds—way faster, way more accurate than older ways of doing things. Using our Spatial AI Engine, OpenSpace Field powers innovations like:
  • AI Autolocation: real time location, indoors, on your phone, on any project using OpenSpace
  • AI Voice Notes: just talk, and the note logs itself, all the fields get filled out automatically
  • Deep, two-way sync integrations with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud: so high quality visual information can flow between your systems of record
• New capabilities that make OpenSpace even easier to use: We rolled out features like AI Image Enhance to automatically sharpen your 360° images with a single click, and QuickCodes for saving valuable time on capturing and on training new users.

For more on what we delivered this year, watch our end-of-year product roundup webinar.

Looking ahead to 2026

By the way, we’re just getting started. In 2026, Visual Intelligence from OpenSpace will continue to bring construction back to its roots. As one superintendent told me this year, “Your guys’ technology is badass and amazing. But what I love about your new ways of doing things, is that it’s like the old way.” I so loved to hear that. We want to let builders rely on reality, not documents or opinions, to understand what’s happening on-site. Because the field—where projects are actually getting built—is where money is made or lost.

You’ll see this vision come to life with the full launch of OpenSpace Field, bringing super fast, image-first field workflows to the center of daily jobsite coordination. And we’ll continue to invest in our groundbreaking AI Autolocation technology, so that work you do in OpenSpace always has a location attached to it, automatically.

And we have a lot of work bubbling with our AI team based on your needs—building technology that truly understands reality data in images, location, and the meaning of those images. AI that understands reality, not just words. Spatial AI is the next generation of AI, and we’re going to bring its benefits directly to you.

That’s the future we’re building: helping you run projects with confidence, grounded in what’s actually happening—not in guesswork or outdated reports. And we’ll continue to make this happen with technology that’s incredibly intuitive, lets field teams continue to work how they work, and makes the truth of the jobsite visible to anyone who needs it.

I’m excited for what we’ll create together in 2026—to see how you combine OpenSpace tools with your irreplaceable expertise to build with clarity and confidence in the year ahead.

The post 2025: An inspirational year of innovation & building appeared first on OpenSpace.

January: MMB selects OpenSpace for nationwide rollout

We kicked off the year with a major customer announcement as Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) selected OpenSpace as its official partner for 360° reality capture across its UK projects.

What stood out was how quickly their site teams took to it. Not because someone told them to, but because they immediately saw how much easier their daily workflows became. From gathering site conditions at the very start of a project to buildability reviews and remote progress checks, MMB were already finding clever ways to embed visual workflows before the rollout even finished.

A great reminder that the best innovation often comes from the field, not the boardroom.

February: A buzzing BIM & digital construction community in Manchester

The National BIM & Digital Construction Conference had real energy this year. Teams were no longer asking whether digital tools “fit”, they were talking about how fast they could bring coordination, BIM workflows, and visual documentation into everyday routines.

It felt like the wider industry finally turned a corner: BIM isn’t just for specialists anymore, and digital coordination is becoming everyone’s job.

March: Reconnecting as one global team at BUILD

Our annual company gathering in Dallas was exactly the recharge we all needed. Hearing customers share their stories on stage, seeing what our product teams have in the pipeline, and simply spending time together reminded me how rare and special our culture is.

We may be remote-first, but weeks like this really bring home just how connected our global team is.

April: Dalkia UK raising the bar on quality and transparency

In April, Dalkia UK decided to roll out reality capture on all their projects after a successful trial in 2024. Their MMC and Digital teams had spent months stress-testing the workflows and quickly saw that having a trustworthy visual record made day-to-day decisions faster and more transparent.

Whether it was remote H&S checks, as-built comparisons, or contractor coordination, Dalkia showed how visual data can quietly elevate quality across the board.

May: Big conversations at Procore’s Construction Summit

Procore events always bring out a great crowd, and this one was no exception. The sessions were packed, the conversations were honest, and it was clear that more and more teams want to connect their field and office workflows in meaningful ways.

Our Solutions Engineer Nathan delivered a great breakout session which was really well received. It’s always nice to see our team’s expertise shine.

June: A busy Digital Construction Week in London

June was a whirlwind. DCW in London brought in great crowds, we had insightful customer visits in London and Birmingham, and we joined the Revizto field day on top of it. We were especially excited to have the our CEO, Jeevan Kalanithi, with us throughout the entire week as we met customers, visited sites, and took part in the events.

Jeevan summed it up perfectly: everywhere we went, teams shared how visual workflows were adopted faster than expected, and delivered ROI earlier than planned. Always amazing to hear that firsthand.

July: Sweet Projects is building data centres with confidence

In July, we shared the story of Sweet Projects and their major data centre build. What really struck me was how naturally reality capture became part of their daily routine, sometimes even capturing multiple times a day.

Their team uses visual data for everything: verifying insulation in walls, checking roofing layers, resolving questions with suppliers, running smoother client meetings, and avoiding disputes before they even surface.

Project Director Andrew Moss put it best: “It works perfectly.”

Hard to beat that.

August: Team meet-up and padel social in London

August gave us a chance to reconnect in person, plan ahead, and enjoy some friendly padel competition. These moments matter. They keep us aligned, energised, and reminded that behind all the tech and processes, we’re just a group of people trying to build something meaningful together.

September: Launching our Visual Intelligence Platform at Waypoint London

Waypoint London was a real highlight. Despite tube strikes and torrential rain, the room was packed and the discussions were brilliant.

Hearing from Skanska, McLaren, and BW about how they’re using visual data in their everyday workflows was inspiring. We also shared our vision for the Visual Intelligence Platform and the positive reactions truly energised the team.

It felt like the start of a new chapter.

October: Catching up with customers in Ireland

October took us to Dublin for several packed and genuinely inspiring days. We spent time with customers across the city, including a fantastic visit with Designer Group, digging into their projects, hearing how visual data is shaping their workflows, and getting a clearer view of the challenges and opportunities ahead in the Irish market.

We also exhibited at the CIF Digicon, where I got to take part in a panel discussion on how AI and technology are reshaping construction. The conversations throughout the event really underlined how much momentum and optimism there is in Ireland right now.

And to round out the month, we kicked off our new Lunch & Learn series: short, practical online sessions giving customers a space to learn more about specific features, ask questions and sharpen their OpenSpace skills.

November: Disperse is now OpenSpace Progress Tracking

November was a standout month as we announced the acquisition of Disperse, bringing verified progress tracking directly into our Visual Intelligence Platform. After seeing strong customer adoption throughout the year, uniting capture, analytics, and trusted progress data into one system felt like a natural next step, and one that unlocks a lot of potential for the teams we work with.

We also visited Digital Construction North, where it was great to have new colleagues from the Progress Tracking team already join us on the stand to showcase the combined offering and gather early feedback from customers.

December: Ending the year with our EMEA QBR in London

We wrapped up the year in a very festive London with our EMEA QBR. It was a week full of learning, honest reflections, shared plans, and plenty of laughs.

We were also joined by members of our global leadership team as well as our new Progress Tracking colleagues. It already feels like our expanded team has been working together for years, a great sign for what’s coming next.

Looking ahead

2025 was a year of real momentum in our region. What excites me most is how naturally construction teams across the UK and Northern Europe are weaving visual intelligence into how they plan, coordinate, and deliver projects every day.

Thank you to everyone — customers, partners, colleagues — who shared their time, feedback, ideas, and trust this year.

Here’s to an even bigger, bolder 2026.

Happy holidays,
Tamas Borodi, Sales Director

The post From reality capture to visual intelligence – 2025 highlights from team UK & Ireland appeared first on OpenSpace.

And solutions like OpenSpace Air make these tasks easy to achieve. With OpenSpace Air, it’s simple to add drone imagery into our Visual Intelligence Platform, where we process it automatically, and connect it with other project data for a complete view of your site.

Here’s a look at these top five use cases:

1. Progress tracking & documentation

The first way drones support construction project management is by helping you track progress over time. With drones, you can capture high-resolution aerial imagery that provides a clear record of how work is advancing—without needing to walk every inch of the site.

Key benefits:

• Start documenting even before a shovel hits the ground, for visibility from the start
• Reduce time spent on manual documentation
• Improve accountability and transparency
• Get a visual as-built record for billing, disputes, and reporting

Real-world example:

A general contractor using OpenSpace Air uploads drone captures weekly to automatically generate orthomosaics and 3D meshes. Project managers can then use Split View to compare up to four captures side by side to display progress over the course of multiple weeks or months, spot deviations from design intent early with the drawing overlay feature, and share progress visuals directly with owners—all without leaving the OpenSpace platform.

2. Site surveys & mapping

Drones have become an essential tool for site surveying and preconstruction planning. Specifically, you can capture accurate topographical data and generate maps and point clouds in a fraction of the time it takes using traditional surveying methods.

Key benefits:

• Faster, safer, and more cost-effective than manual surveys
• Accurate measurements for grading, drainage, and layout
• Easier logistic planning
• High-quality data that integrates with BIM and CAD tools

Real-world example:

Civil contractors use OpenSpace Air to automatically create 3D meshes and orthomosaics from standard drone flights. You can easily export the resulting files into the formats you need for uploading into tools like ArcGIS and Civil 3D for accurate planning and design validation.

3. Safety & risk management

Our next use case for taking advantage of drone imagery in construction is improving safety with remote inspections and monitoring. Instead of sending folks into hazardous or hard-to-reach areas, you can use drones to safely capture images and videos from above.

Key benefits:

• Keep crews out of unsafe environments
• Identify potential hazards earlier
• Help safety managers validate compliance, anytime and from anywhere

Real-world example:

A safety manager uses a drone to capture aerial overviews of their active zones and staging areas. After ingesting drone imagery into OpenSpace Air, they can layer the captures with site plans to verify barricade placement and ensure clear pathways for equipment and on-site teams. You can make these visuals, plus every drone image geolocated over the base map in full resolution, available to the rest of the safety team and pertinent stakeholders.

4. Earthwork & volume analysis

Drones make earthwork and volume measurement faster, easier, and more accurate than ever. By comparing drone-generated topographic data over time, teams can calculate cut-and-fill volumes and accurately monitor progress.

Key benefits:

• Reduce the need for manual measurement
• Assess grading, drainage, and cut-fill areas with heatmaps and measurement tools
• Track quantities and productivity
• Help validate subcontractor invoices and avoid disputes

Real-world example:

Using OpenSpace Air, site engineers analyze grading and excavation areas with cut-fill functionality and elevation models generated from their drone captures. That gives them more accurate reporting and reduced risk of costly over-excavation.

Note that 2D and 3D measurement functionality will be launching in OpenSpace Air in the coming weeks. With these powerful and accurate measurement capabilities, users will be able to streamline site analysis, improve accuracy, and reduce manual surveying time for construction and earthwork projects.

5. Stakeholder communication & reporting

Drone imagery is super effective for keeping all stakeholders informed. Having high-quality visuals makes it easy to clearly communicate project updates to clients, investors, and leadership teams—without requiring technical expertise.

Key benefits:

• Simplify complex information with imagery
• Build trust and transparency with clients
• Improve collaboration across teams

Real-world example:

Owners and developers use OpenSpace Air to help create visual reports that combine aerial and 360° captures. Everyone—from executives to field teams—can see progress and make faster, more confident decisions.

OpenSpace Air—drones in the Visual Intelligence Platform

With OpenSpace Air, you can upload imagery from any drone and we’ll automatically create high-quality orthomosaics, 3D meshes, and point clouds. With drone imagery added to our Visual Intelligence Platform, you have a single, easy-to-use place to access all your site imagery—from drones, smartphones, 360° cameras, and laser scanners.

The result? Clarity from every angle—making it fast and easy to turn imagery into intelligence you can use to manage projects efficiently, reduce risk, and make decisions with confidence.

The post Top five use cases for drones in construction project management appeared first on OpenSpace.

When we started OpenSpace, our mission was to simplify how the world gets built through reality capture. Over the years, we’ve scaled that mission to more than 80,000 projects across the globe, capturing over 50 billion square feet of the built environment. 

While OpenSpace became the industry’s leading solution for capturing jobsite reality, we heard a clear message from customers: capturing is just the start. You need insight. You need clarity. You need faster decisions. That’s why we’re evolving into a Visual Intelligence Platform—transforming raw imagery into the intelligence that keeps projects moving.

Why refresh now?

As we evolved, our visual identity wasn’t keeping up to fully reflect who we’d become and where we were going. What once served us well in marketing communication started to feel stale and not innovative. In the product, we were relying on a typeface that no longer was supported by the foundry who created it and a user experience that prioritized 360° reality capture above anything else. We needed a unified brand strategy and identity that would help us communicate this evolution and rally the team around a new vision, and around the practical application of artificial intelligence in construction.

Goals

As we embarked on this project, we identified clear goals to serve as our guide:

• Establish OpenSpace as the leader in a new category—Visual Intelligence.
• Define a brand strategy that serves as a foundation for the verbal and visual brand expression.
• Develop a cohesive brand language that would work well in marketing as well as within the product.
• Reflect both the technical precision of our platform and the human collaboration it fuels.

We’ve been rolling out our new brand identity over the past few weeks, and we wanted to share how we got to where we are today.

Unified brand strategy as the foundation

We partnered with design studio Awful Good to augment our team—to help us shape and define our brand strategy from the beginning. Having an outside perspective helped bring structure to the process and kept our team accountable for making decisions on time; something that could have been easy to deprioritize in a dynamic startup environment (there’s always something else we could be doing!).

Awful Good helped the team rally around a brand strategy that defined the OpenSpace purpose, mission, vision, values, differentiators, and our personality traits. This strategy served as a jumping off point for the verbal and visual expression we explored in later rounds of creative.

Laying this foundation enabled us to take a step back, understand how people perceive OpenSpace today, and put to paper who we are going forward.

Verbal identity—translating strategy to a singular voice

We used the brand strategy to define a singular voice centered around clarity and reality. Recognizing our brand needs to flex between environments in order to connect with our audience at their level, our brand voice nimbly adapts between crews on the ground (more casual) and executives in the C-suite (more professional). Our tone and style brings boldness and drive that’s always delivered with an upbeat, magnetic energy.

Visual identity—expressing the brand through visuals

The words we use are one part of our identity. The other part is the brand’s visual expression. The place where logo, color, typography, illustration, and photography come together to bring the brand to life.

The team went through rounds of creative that started with moodboards, allowing us to quickly see the different paths we could take with our brand strategy.

Once we narrowed on a visual direction that started to feel right, we started exploring how it would feel in practical applications in marketing and product.

Logo

Our updated logo refines the original form with cleaner geometry, improved balance, and better legibility at small sizes. In addition, the decision to go from all caps to Pascal case (upper camel case) solved a need around how to properly type out the name OpenSpace.

Typography

We chose a modern, humanist sans-serif with strong legibility and warmth. It supports technical content without feeling cold or overly rigid.

Color palette

Our palette introduces vibrant blues, brighter accents, and warmer neutrals—grounded in trust, but flexible and expressive enough for storytelling and data visualization.

Illustrations & graphics

The graphics evolved our markup vernacular to have more grit and look realistic. Patterns and textures inspired by the construction industry bring some authenticity and depth to applications.

Photography

Photography is important to how we tell our story and authentically connect with our customers’ daily experience leveraging technology in the field.

Guidelines built in Standards.site

Rather than documenting the decisions we made in a static PDF, we used this refresh as an opportunity to digitize our brand guidelines using the tool Standards. The benefit of this approach reduced the overhead of having to update, reexport, and share a PDF whenever we needed to make changes, expand, and evolve the identity—ain’t no one got time for that!

Rolling out the new look

Here are highlights of our brand rollout so far.

Team & collaborators

This refresh was a truly collaborative effort involving a cross-functional tiger team in collaboration with the team at Awful Good. Thank you to everyone at OpenSpace who contributed ideas, feedback, and craftsmanship throughout the process.

We’re incredibly excited to share this new chapter with you—check out our company video that boldly showcases our new identity! We’re even more excited for what comes next.

The post Introducing our new brand identity & vision appeared first on OpenSpace.

We’re incredibly excited to share big news: Disperse is now part of OpenSpace.

This marks a pivotal new chapter—not just for our two companies, but for builders everywhere who want to make better decisions, faster. We’re ushering in a new way for builders to work, based on reality, not opinions. And with this acquisition, we’re now able to deliver a full-stack platform to the industry.

Over the past few months, we’ve seen incredible momentum around OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse—our joint product that combines OpenSpace 360° image capture with verified progress analytics from Disperse. The response from customers has been clear: this combination works. It saves time, eliminates guesswork, and delivers the kind of trustworthy insight that construction teams have wanted for years. OpenSpace Progress Tracking helps builders manage work with clarity and confidence.

Using reality data from the field—smartphone data, 360° images, aerial imagery, and more—means you can run your business with facts, not opinions. And with OpenSpace Progress Tracking, you can pull high level insights out of that reality to run your business with even more confidence.

Why this makes sense

At OpenSpace, our first mission was simple: make it easy to visually capture what’s happening on the jobsite. That mission was good, and it worked! Our customers have captured more than 50 billion square feet of projects globally, and that number is growing rapidly. And now, our vision has grown. We’re taking those images and turning what’s happening in the field into intelligence teams can use to run smarter and faster.

Disperse shares that vision. Their team built an incredible platform that takes construction progress tracking from a painful, low trust manual task to a fast, objective, and scalable process. They’ve proven that you can combine AI and human expertise to deliver accurate, verified progress data you can trust, based on image data from the field. Critically, the solution is simple, and provides data that fits perfectly into how teams already work.

We’ve spent months working closely together, validating the technology, and confirming the results on live projects. Our customers love the solution. They see the value, and when they decide to deploy OpenSpace Progress Tracking, their teams use it. A lot. And when they use OpenSpace Progress Tracking on one project, they expand the solution to many more. The verdict: it works beautifully.

The progress tracking vision is one builders have been asking for, for years. Many companies have tried to deliver. I’m proud to say we are delivering, at scale, for the industry. I truly believe this is not just a big moment for our two companies, but for construction generally.

What OpenSpace Progress Tracking delivers

OpenSpace Progress Tracking is part of our Visual Intelligence Platform—giving builders one connected system to capture everything on the jobsite, turn that imagery into intelligence, and put that intelligence into action.

Our solution is a hybrid approach—AI-powered analysis + human verification—delivering speed and accuracy. No black-box. No guesswork. Just results you can trust.

With OpenSpace Progress Tracking, field teams can:

• Organize and analyze all visual data (from smartphones, 360° cameras, and drones) by place and time, for a complete, contextual record.
• See what’s built and what’s not—across hundreds of components and schedule tasks.
• Validate work-in-place for billing with clear, visual proof you can stand behind.
• Spot risks early by comparing actual progress to plan, so you can catch issues before they cause delays.
• Resolve disputes and issue payments faster with verified, objective progress data.
• Integrate seamlessly with key tools like P6, Asta, Microsoft Project, and Excel to keep progress, schedule, and cost data in sync.

Olli’s take: a winning combination

For these partnerships to work, both companies need to be jointly building something customers love. And you need to have two company visions—and cultures—that mesh. Our teams do, and it’s been so fun working together. Olli, Disperse’s CEO, said this:

Disperse was built to give construction teams a trustworthy, objective picture of progress. By joining OpenSpace, we can deliver that clarity at unprecedented scale—and bring even more value to builders on projects of every size.

I couldn’t agree more. This combination strengthens our shared mission: helping builders make smarter decisions, reduce risk, and deliver with confidence—based on reality.

Looking ahead

This acquisition deepens our leadership as the Visual Intelligence Platform for construction—a place where reality data and AI come together to give builders the full picture of their projects. OpenSpace Progress Tracking, in combination with our recent wave of announcements, including reality-first field execution tools via OpenSpace Field, aerial data integration via OpenSpace Air, and our lightning fast OpenSpace BIM Viewer, paint that picture.

This acquisition also gives OpenSpace a new superpower: the ability to make sense of massive amounts of imagery and progress data with accuracy and context. That’s super useful for reporting, and it’s foundational for the next generation of Spatial AI. You’ll hear more about this from us over the next year and beyond, but suffice to say: OpenSpace is now in an even stronger position to pioneer next-generation AI systems that truly understand reality. This is exciting because it places OpenSpace at the forefront of the next wave of AI broadly, a wave that goes by the term Spatial AI, of course, but also “Physical AI”, “Real World AI,” and others. You’ll be reading about it a lot in the mainstream technology press in the coming years!

Some brass tacks

For existing OpenSpace Progress Tracking customers, nothing changes—you’ll keep using the same tools you know and love. For existing Disperse customers, nothing changes—you too will keep using the same tools you know and love. For new customers, OpenSpace Progress Tracking is available as an add-on to an OpenSpace Capture subscription license and available at the project level or for your entire portfolio of projects.

We’re thrilled to welcome the talented Disperse team to OpenSpace, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
