Effective communication and collaboration are critical to the success of any construction project. When the right information isn’t available to the right people at the right time, there can be serious consequences ranging from inefficiency, suboptimal decision-making, and project delays to expensive rework, budget overruns, and safety issues. Poor communication is a costly problem in…
When you invest a ton of energy into your work and are proud of what you got done at the end of the day, it’s only natural to want to share it with your friends and family. The only trouble is, how do you share a construction project in a way that others can understand…
MAPP Construction recently completed Phase 7 of The National WWII Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana, using OpenSpace reality capture. It was a challenging project due to the building’s complicated design, which includes an array of unusual angles and shapes—and no right angles in sight. Watch this inspiring video to go behind the scenes of this…
We were stoked to see our partners Suffolk and Shepherd featured in The New York Times recently (along with an OpenSpace camera on a hard hat!) in an in-depth look at how construction is evolving. The revolution is being captured! The AEC industry may have a reputation for being slow to adopt technology, but it…
As we announced at Waypoint 2023, we’ve released our latest product, OpenSpace BIM+. We wanted to take a deeper dive and walk through some of the most powerful features of this exciting new offering. Design and engineering professionals have broadly adopted BIM, but it hasn’t gained the same degree of traction among field teams. While…
Waypoint 2023 is in the books, and we were thrilled to discuss the future of reality capture and coordination on the jobsite with such a lively and engaged global audience. On June 8th, more than 300 construction professionals tuned in live for our annual customer summit, and we also welcomed customers to our in-person Community…
Design and engineering professionals have broadly adopted BIM, but field teams have not followed suit. While 3D models are an essential aspect of construction, working with them presents numerous hurdles that can drive up project costs and delay schedules. This is all about to change with the introduction of our latest product! We’re thrilled to…
What is reality capture in construction, and what are its benefits, applications, and limitations? We’ve developed this helpful guide to answer these and other questions because we know it can be challenging to keep up with the latest innovation and technology in the construction industry. Let’s dive in. What is reality capture used for in…
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals insight and tools to better manage all phases of construction. You’ll also see the acronym BIM in reference to Building Information Model—the actual 3D digital mockup of your construction project. If your projects are using BIM for…
