Remote management with OpenSpace—save time and money

At its core, OpenSpace delivers a complete, visual record of your jobsite using 360° reality capture that’s incredibly fast, easy to use, and reliable. From there, the work you can get done virtually on your construction project is vast. Remote work with OpenSpace translates into significant time, travel, and money savings. Read on for an overview, or head straight to our new Remote work use case page.

Reduce trips to the jobsite by half

Whatever your role may be on a construction project, you might not be able to get to the site—especially if you’re managing multiple projects. But if you’re using OpenSpace Capture, you can visit the site virtually to see current (and past) conditions, answer questions, and keep progress moving. Customers tell us time and again how valuable remote access has been for their companies:

• Project managers at Power Design have reduced travel to distant sites by 50% with the ability to conduct virtual tours.
• The team at Namibia Construction reduced travel to a remote project by half. The company invested their travel cost savings directly into OpenSpace, and their time savings into valuable project management tasks.
• On a single project, Nibbi Brothers General Contractors saved $58,000 in travel costs. And on another project in San Francisco, CA, the team was able to provide remote access to a LEED sustainability consultant based in Germany.

Get efficient with easy-to-use, image-rich tools for virtual workflows

Remote management is made simple with the combination of your reality capture documentation data and the powerful Field Notes feature in OpenSpace Capture.

• Conduct virtual QA/QC inspections: When you document your site regularly, you can access the job anytime, from anywhere and perform a virtual QA/QC walk. As you’re navigating, stop when you see an item that needs to be called out and create a Field Note. Add all relevant details including text and images, add an assignee, and set up email alerts. Your Field Note displays on your capture right where you created it. Learn more about QA/QC in OpenSpace.
• Run efficient OAC meetings: Looking for the images you need in folders that are relevant to what you need to discuss in an owner, architect, and contractor meeting is inefficient and can take up valuable time. By virtually navigating through your OpenSpace captures during the meeting, you can easily pull up the area you want, look around, and move to the next relevant spot.
• Bring in the experts without the travel: If your project relies on the expertise, input, or inspections from outside consultants, they can’t necessarily get to your site. Whether they live in a distant location, or they’re working on multiple jobs, you can avoid trying to schedule an on-site visit or trying to piece together a report with current photos. Instead, share your OpenSpace jobsite virtually for an architect, engineer, safety consultant, or any other stakeholder to access current conditions and get work done.

OpenSpace gives you the power to manage workflows remotely and efficiently. Whether what you do falls into the examples above or you have other workflows in place for your construction projects (maybe resolving RFIs or conducting safety inspections), documenting your jobsite with 360° reality capture from OpenSpace opens up a world of remote access that can shave considerable dollars and time on travel. Team members can navigate the project as if they were on-site, compare current conditions to a date in the past on a split screen, and view site conditions side by side with the BIM model. And more!
