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 Agents are coming to construction. They’ll need eyes. appeared first on OpenSpace.

“We used OpenSpace in two ways. We took our existing facility here in Verden and created a digital model of our site. We then took our US facilities, did OpenSpace captures of them, and remotely with all of our design teams were able to use them as benchmarks to create new design standards.“, James Beale, Senior International Project Manager, HelloFresh.

Here’s how the HelloFresh team is driving results across every phase of the project:

• Captured existing facilities in Germany and the US to create design standards remotely
• Enabled seamless collaboration across international teams through weekly site captures shared with all stakeholders
• Replaced time-consuming on-site inspections with virtual walkthroughs, saving significant time and resources
• Streamlined issue documentation and resolution directly on-site
• Built a lasting visual record that will support facility management and operations long after construction wraps up

With more than 40 sites worldwide, HelloFresh plans to expand their use of OpenSpace across their global portfolio.

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.

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.

This blog answers questions from our live chat during Waypoint. If you’d like to watch or rewatch any of the sessions, the recordings are available on demand.

OpenSpace Field

Is OpenSpace Field available now?

OpenSpace Field is currently available in early access to select customers. Fill out our form if you’re interested in learning more. (During the event we unveiled OpenSpace Field with exciting new capabilities like AI Autolocation.)

Is English the only language supported for the new AI Search and AI Voice Notes?

AI Search on photos is currently available in English. AI Voice Notes and its transcription are currently available in the following languages: Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. (If you’d like to request support for another language, please contact your OpenSpace representative.)

Note that our OpenSpace platform is localized in English, German, Japanese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

How many captures do you need to complete for AI Autolocation to work?

The more captures, and the better the coverage, the better. But to get started, you only need one. Our technology relies on the sensors on your smartphone and its camera to build out our sensor map, which allows a user’s device to locate them in the project space. To learn more about how AI Autolocation works, see our CTO’s blog.

Will AI Autolocation account for elevation changes between floors?

We’ve built in a “floor change detection” algorithm that indicates when floor or elevation changes occur. This means you’ll be prompted to switch sheets. In the future, as we continue to build on and improve this system, floor changes will become more fluid and accurate.

How does AI Autolocation work with Field Notes? Do I need to walk around with my phone to collect camera data?

You will pin your first Field Note. After that, AI Autolocation will follow you and suggest a location for each Field Note thereafter—no need to keep your phone or camera out.

OpenSpace Air & drone imagery

When will OpenSpace Air be able to host drone video?

We expect that OpenSpace Air will be able to ingest drone video later this year.

When will RTK and GCP be integrated in OpenSpace Air?

RTK (real-time kinematic) is already supported today—correction data is included in the image metadata. We expect to support GCP (ground control points) later this year.

How do you deal with laws regarding flying drones?

Legal requirements for where you can fly drones vary from city to city. We definitely recommend you research and follow local and federal drone laws in your area before flying.

Does OpenSpace integrate GIS data?

We currently use GIS (geographic information system) data in OpenSpace Air and our new OpenSpace Field features. We plan to continue exploring additional places to integrate GIS in our platform.

OpenSpace Progress Tracking

How does OpenSpace suggest product rate?

With OpenSpace Progress Tracking we track your production rate with the speed of AI and the accuracy of experienced professionals.

APIs

Do you have an API that plugs into Power BI?

Yes, our Usage API works great with Microsoft Power BI. You can take advantage of our Usage API and Power BI template to develop custom reports on OpenSpace data. The data is delivered in a structured, simple format. Find details in our Support article.

Can you use the Field Note API if you don’t use Procore? Are you planning an integration with Trimble ProjectSight, Dalux, or other platforms?

Our upcoming Field Note APIs will enable you to integrate your Field Notes in OpenSpace with any platform you want. Also, we plan to continue building new integrations. Stay tuned for future announcements.

Is the Field Note API two way?

Today, our APIs support GET endpoints for most fields, meaning you can take data out of OpenSpace. POST and PUT endpoints will come later, which will allow you to build a connection that works bi-directionally (two-way sync, where data stays aligned in both systems).

OpenSpace BIM Viewer

What model file types will the new OpenSpace BIM Viewer support? Can it read NWF files and ProjectWise or Aconex models?

The new OpenSpace BIM Viewer supports dozens of file types including .NWC and .NWD; find a full list of supported file types on the Autodesk Platform Services website. NWF files are project containers, not true 3D model files, so they cannot be read outside of the Navisworks program. But please reach out to your OpenSpace representative so that we can learn more about your workflow and see how we might work to get your model data into the OpenSpace Visual Intelligence Platform.

Models from ProjectWise and Aconex must be exported into one of our supported file types and imported into our platform.

Does the BIM Viewer sync with Autodesk Construction Cloud?

Yes, you can use our Autodesk Model Import feature in OpenSpace BIM+ to pull your model directly from ACC into OpenSpace—and pull in new versions as the model is updated with one click. Learn more in our Support article.

Additional questions

How precise is AI Image Enhance, and is there a chance it could introduce anything new in the image?

AI Image Enhance automatically sharpens, adjusts contrast, and corrects blur and visual noise on your captures. Our technology will not hallucinate any extraneous imagery in your capture. See our Support article for details on enhancing 360° captures.

Can we integrate our OpenSpace 360° images in our GIS platform, so that the capture coordinates display in GIS?

Yes, if you’d like to incorporate your OpenSpace 360° imagery into your GIS platform, please reach out to your OpenSpace representative so we can learn more about your use case.

The most important device on your jobsite is already in your pocket

If reality capture is about seeing, Visual Intelligence—the concept that jobsite imagery, anchored to time and location, becomes actionable—is about seeing, understanding, and acting. AI Autolocation is one of the foundational pieces that makes the jump from reality capture to Visual Intelligence possible: it gives your phone real-time indoor positioning on active jobsites without beacons or special hardware. It’s a patent-pending capability built on our Spatial AI Engine and it comes to life in OpenSpace Field, our image-first system of work.

Builders already capture a ton of visual context with their 360° walks, smartphone photos, and drone imagery. Our Spatial AI Engine organizes these images by time and place and understands what’s in them. This gives you the ability to find what you need quickly and, more importantly, act on it in OpenSpace and in other tools you already use, including through deep integrations with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

All of this can now happen with the one device you already carry: your smartphone.

OpenSpace Field turns your smartphone into the front end for field workflows: fast, simple, and grounded in reality. Layer on our breakthrough innovation, AI Autolocation, and you get real-time indoor positioning for the whole team that gets smarter with every capture.

Under the hood: how AI Autolocation works

GPS stops at the door. Satellite signals struggle indoors, and beacon-based “indoor GPS” systems don’t fit the organized chaos of construction. AI Autolocation takes a different path:

1. Captures create a sensor map: Your normal 360° walks generate a living model of the site plus a compact fingerprint that ties sensor data to specific spots on the floor plan.
2. Your phone streams live signals: As you move (even when you’re not taking a 360° capture) the sensor data from your phone is collected.
3. The system matches fingerprints: We compare the sensor phone’s readings to the latest sensor map, estimate your position, and update confidence in real time.
4. It learns as the site evolves: Each new capture refreshes the model and map, so positioning keeps up as conditions change.

The result: reliable indoor positioning that adapts as the construction site evolves.

With AI Autolocation, everyday tasks get faster and clearer. Field Notes, observations, and images are auto-pinned to the right spot on the plan, cutting back-and-forth and miscommunication. On complex sites, a live “you-are-here” view helps you get to the right room the first time. And with AI Voice Notes, you can talk through a punch item and our AI creates your Field Note—filling in assignee, due date, and more—so you can see it, deal with it, get it done.

The flywheel in action

Every 360° capture makes AI Autolocation a little sharper. As positioning gets smarter, logging issues gets faster—especially with AI Voice Notes turning what you say into complete Field Notes in the right place. With more, better-placed issues, progress tracking becomes more accurate and decisions get quicker. Those wins encourage teams to capture even more, which in turn strengthens AI Autolocation again. The loop compounds across projects and over time.

From AI Autolocation to spatially aware AI agents

Looking ahead, AI Autolocation lays the groundwork for a new class of assistants we call spatially aware AI agents. While these features aren’t in our product today, they’re an active area of R&D and early prototyping. The idea is simple: if an agent understands where you are—not just what you’re working on—it can become far more helpful.

In internal demos, we’ve explored agents that could quietly watch your context and, as you enter a zone, surface the most relevant nearby items from OpenSpace, Procore, or ACC, along with suggested next steps. We’ve also experimented with “X-ray” moments, where the agent retrieves archival imagery from the exact room you’re standing in, pre-drywall, so you can reason about what’s behind the wall without opening it up. And at the portfolio level, we’re testing summaries that roll visual and spatial signals into an executive snapshot of progress and risk, grounded in reality data rather than documents alone.

These concepts are exploratory and will evolve as we learn with customers. We’ll share timelines and specifics as they mature.

The post A deeper dive into Spatial AI & AI Autolocation appeared first on OpenSpace.

We’ve been talking about what it means to move beyond reality capture. OpenSpace is evolving into a Visual Intelligence Platform that helps teams capture everything, transform visuals into intelligence, and take action with confidence.

That vision came to life in London, where three customers shared their stories:

• Skanska UK
• BW: Workplace Experts
• McLaren Construction

Each team shared how reality data has become embedded in their daily workflows, the lessons learned along the way, and how OpenSpace is supporting their vision of the future of construction.

Skanska UK: scaling reality data across buildings & infrastructure

Tom Denby (BIM Lead Pre-construction) and Daniel Callaghan (Senior Digital Construction Manager), walked us through Skanska UK’s evolving journey with OpenSpace. What began as pilot projects on a handful of building sites has grown into a company-wide standard, with reality data now embedded into Skanska’s digital delivery approach.

Today, OpenSpace is part of Skanska’s minimum digital standards, making it mandatory across projects. Teams are using it to validate as-built conditions, resolve issues more quickly, and improve collaboration between office and field. On building projects such as 105 Victoria Street and The Smith in London, the tool has streamlined condition surveys, record keeping, and design validation.

Perhaps most striking is how Skanska has extended usage into infrastructure projects, where traditional capture methods can be challenging. The team demonstrated how they have used 360° cameras mounted on cars, bikes, and even boats to document highways and large-scale civil works. These creative approaches are enabling consistent, high-quality visual records in environments where accuracy and coverage are critical.

Skanska is also embracing the newest features of the platform, from BIM overlays and Autodesk Construction Cloud integrations to OpenSpace Air for drone captures and a first test of AI Autolocation. (AI Autolocation is a groundbreaking and patent pending new advancement that works like GPS but for indoors, enabling OpenSpace to provide indoor location, in real time, to devices like the smartphone.)

By linking capture data into project dashboards and GIS tools like ESRI, the Skanska team is building a connected ecosystem where reality data drives reporting, benchmarking, and decision-making across their portfolio.

BW: Workplace Experts is turning reality data into progress insights

Tomas Hollingsworth, Director of Technology at BW: Workplace Experts, shared how the company has been embedding OpenSpace into its workflows to strengthen visibility and reporting across projects. BW first adopted 360° captures as a straightforward way to document site progress, but has since expanded its use of the platform to include OpenSpace Progress Tracking. By comparing planned versus actual work, project managers now gain clearer insights into where projects stand, helping them keep delivery on schedule and stakeholders fully informed.

This enhanced visibility doesn’t stop at the project level. BW has developed ways to generate portfolio-wide overviews for executives while still enabling detailed site spotlights for project teams. The result is greater confidence that projects are aligned, risks are spotted earlier, and reporting is both consistent and credible.

BW is also exploring robotic quadrupeds equipped with 360° cameras to automate site captures. Although still at a trial stage, these innovations reflect BW’s commitment to testing emerging technologies that reduce the manual effort of routine documentation while simultaneously increasing capture coverage.

For BW, OpenSpace has become more than a visual record—it’s a foundation for new ways of working that allow project teams to spend less time chasing information and more time focusing on delivering quality projects.

McLaren Construction: Scaling deployment & driving adoption

Tom Gothard, Senior Digital Implementation Manager at McLaren Construction, offered a different perspective, talking about what it takes to roll out OpenSpace across a fast-growing business.

McLaren first tested the platform in 2023 on projects including a data centre in Peterborough and a London renovation. Encouraged by the results, the company signed an enterprise agreement in 2024 and began rolling OpenSpace out across its portfolio. By the end of that year, 20 projects were live, with adoption continuing to grow in 2025.

The results speak for themselves:

• More than 9,000 captures completed
• Over 60,000 logins
• 404 unique users actively engaging with the platform

Around a third of McLaren’s workforce now uses OpenSpace to evidence completed works, capture site conditions, and resolve disputes more efficiently. Captures are increasingly part of weekly coordination meetings, ensuring everyone is aligned to the same source of truth.

To support this rollout, McLaren built internal KPI dashboards that they review monthly to track adoption across projects and highlight where additional support is needed. The company is also investing in drone captures, backed by a clear policy framework, trained pilots, and compliance with aviation regulations.

Looking ahead, McLaren plans to deepen integration by automating model uploads via API, refining reporting to identify blind spots, and combining 360° captures, drone imagery, and laser scans into one unified view. The team is also starting a trial of OpenSpace Progress Tracking, further strengthening their approach to digital project delivery.

By scaling OpenSpace thoughtfully and embedding it into reporting and compliance processes, McLaren is creating a foundation for smarter, more data-driven project delivery that allows them to reduce risk and build smarter.

We unveiled the Visual Intelligence Platform, a unified system of work that moves beyond reality capture to power faster, better-informed decisions that reduce risk and help you get work done more efficiently.

If you missed it, here’s a recap of everything we covered, and links to the on-demand recordings.

A shared vision for the future

What stood out most at Waypoint London was the range of ways customers are putting OpenSpace to work. For Skanska, it’s about making Visual Intelligence an enterprise standard. For BW, it’s about leveraging OpenSpace for progress reports and leveraging robotics to test the future of progress tracking. For McLaren, it’s about scaling adoption across dozens of projects and ensuring the right data flows into decision-making processes.

Together, these stories show how the industry is moving beyond reality capture. Our Visual Intelligence Platform is helping builders not only see what’s happening on-site, but understand it, act on it, and share it seamlessly across their organisations. The result is faster decisions, fewer disputes, and greater confidence at every stage of delivery.

As these companies continue to experiment, learn, and lead, they’re shaping a new standard for construction. One where the jobsite is no longer a black box, but a transparent source of truth powering every decision.
