Powerful remote construction site inspection made simple
When you (or any project team member or stakeholder) need to visit a site but can’t get there, simply open your 360° capture and conduct a remote construction site inspection from wherever you are. On your virtual walk, use Field Notes to make comments and assign action items—efficient, visual communication from anywhere.
Save time with virtual QA/QC
Quality control in construction is easier with virtual QA/QC walks. Access your 360° capture from your desk and walk the site as if you were at the job. When you spot an item that needs to be addressed, create a Field Note with all relevant details, including an image. You can continue to remotely track all communication in Field Notes, making it easy to check on the status of issues, all the way through resolution.
Manage multiple construction projects without the travel
Traveling to jobsites takes time and money. OpenSpace can reduce the amount of flying and driving you might normally do to manage a project or multiple projects—customers even report a 50% reduction in travel time. Anytime you need to make decisions from a distance, occasionally or for an extended period of time, OpenSpace has you covered. Walk your site virtually, track project performance, and move on to the next job.
Conduct more productive OAC meetings
Instead of shuffling through thumbnail images in multiple folders during owner, architect, and contractor (OAC) meetings, you can access your virtual record in OpenSpace to easily show the area of discussion. As you’re talking, quickly jump to the relevant spot in OpenSpace. Everyone can see what’s going on and talk about the project as if they were standing on-site.
Collaborate with experts without delay
Project consultants—architects, engineers, and others—are working multiple jobs and typically not on-site. When you need their expertise on an issue, share your OpenSpace capture so they can review the site conditions, compare the model next to images with BIM Compare, and get to resolving the problem. OpenSpace makes it easy for any other expert, such as a sustainability consultant, to conduct site inspections from afar. Plus, if you’re working with someone who isn’t an OpenSpace user on your project, you can share a link to a capture for easy review.
Resolve RFIs without a site visit
Resolving a request for information (RFI) is faster than ever with OpenSpace. Rather than heading to the job to take a new photo, you can navigate to the location in OpenSpace, find what you need, and start coordinating. Create a Field Note and send it to your internal team for resolution. Or, push your Field Note to your project management system as an RFI—complete with the image, markups, and comments so the design team has what they need to respond quickly.

Learn moreFrequently asked questions
What is remote construction site inspection software?
Remote construction site inspection software lets construction professionals, including project managers, superintendents, and consultants review a construction site without traveling there in person. OpenSpace captures the site in 360°, maps every image to the floor plan automatically, and lets anyone on the project walk the space virtually, flag issues with Field Notes, and track them through resolution.
How does remote construction monitoring actually work?
A field team captures the jobsite using a 360° camera or smartphone, and the OpenSpace Spatial AI engine automatically locates that imagery on the floor plan. From there, anyone with access can open the capture, easily navigate the site, and create Field Notes to document issues or assign tasks.
Can remote inspections fully replace on-site visits?
Remote inspections are built to reduce how often someone needs to travel for routine checks, OAC meetings, or RFI resolution, not to remove site visits altogether.
Is remote construction site inspection secure enough for sensitive projects?
Yes. OpenSpace is built as a secure documentation platform with two-way integrations with Procore and Autodesk, so inspection data doesn’t sit disconnected from the rest of a project’s records. Shared Folders and permission-based links let teams share exactly what a stakeholder needs to see, without exposing the full project record.
