2025: An inspirational year of innovation & building

As the year wraps up, I want to say something pretty simple: thank you.

You—our customers, partners, the thousands of people using OpenSpace every day—are the reason we exist. You’re doing incredibly complex, high-stakes work, and we’re here to make that work clearer and easier.

Every workflow we rethink, every feature we ship, every late-night engineering sprint is in service of helping you make better decisions, faster—so you can keep the job moving.

What we’ve accomplished together in 2025

This was a monumental year for us, and it was genuinely shaped by your feedback, trust, and appetite to try new ways of working. Here are a few numbers I like to talk about, because they’re pretty great at telling that story:

• 62% of the ENR Top 400 GCs and trades have adopted OpenSpace into their operations
• You’re part of a community that now numbers 350,000 users across 125 countries working on over 80,000 projects
• You’ve documented more than 50 billion square feet of jobsite conditions, and counting
• 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.

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.
