Business View Magazine’s feature on Owen Electric Company, a Florida electrical contractor with a 25% annual growth rate and major projects including work for Blue Origin and EPIC Universal, includes a direct customer endorsement of OpenSpace from VP of Operations Ryan Owen. “We use OpenSpace and have been now for a few years,” Owen says. “The guys will strap this 360 camera to their hard hat. They walk, and it shows every inch of everywhere they walked.” The documentation is then compared against the BIM model to verify that work is installed correctly and identify anything that may be missing.
Business View Magazine reaches business leaders, executives, and decision makers across North America through in-depth company profiles. An Owen Electric feature is primarily a story about a thriving electrical contractor, but embedded in it is something valuable for OpenSpace: a customer who has been using the platform for years and describes it in practical, vivid terms. Ryan Owen’s description of the hard hat camera workflow, the 360 degree walkthroughs, the overlap with BIM, is the kind of specificity that reflects a tool that has genuinely embedded itself into how a company works. That is different from a company that has tried a tool and moved on. Owen Electric has been on OpenSpace for years, and it shows up in a national business magazine interview as a given: just part of how they operate.
Owen Electric’s profile also hints at why OpenSpace matters in the electrical contracting space specifically. As projects get larger and more complex, from data centers to aerospace facilities to major entertainment venues, the cost of not knowing exactly where work has been installed becomes significant. Being able to walk a site with a 360 camera and compare that documentation against the BIM model reduces the risk of costly errors and gives everyone on the team a shared, accurate picture of what is happening in the field. That is exactly what Owen Electric describes, and it is the same value OpenSpace delivers across thousands of projects worldwide.
