Data centers & mega projects
Build faster. See everything. Deliver with confidence.
Every schedule slip, coordination gap, and disputed milestone costs more on a hyperscale build than anywhere else in construction. OpenSpace gives owners, GCs, and program teams a single visual source of truth—from breaking ground through commissioning—so you can move fast without losing control.
The challenge
Blind spots are unforgiving
Relying on manual site walks, written reports, and scattered photos to track progress can lead to decisions based on what someone remembers—not what’s actually on-site. The pace of a hyperscale build demands better.
The solution
Visual Intelligence Platform, built to scale
With OpenSpace, you get a fully documented project, field workflows, and AI-powered progress tracking in one platform. That means a clear, objective view of what’s actually happening on-site for everyone involved.
360° ground capture
Smartphone and 360° cameras document site conditions while you walk, automatically mapped to your floor plan.
Drone imagery
Upload drone data for cut/fill analysis for large footprints and early-stage earthworks.
Field workflows
Fast, simple workflows for superintendents that make daily documentation as easy as snapping a photo.
AI-powered progress tracking
OpenSpace Progress Tracking verifies work-in-place, supports pay applications, and delivers executive-level reporting with trusted, visual evidence.
At scale
Speed & accuracy are critical
Data center construction moves fast—and repeats at scale across buildings and GCs. OpenSpace brings consistent, portfolio-wide visibility to every site, replaces manual tracking with AI-powered, human-verified insights, and helps reduce risk—customers report 41% fewer insurance claims.

The proof
Trusted on hyperscale programs
OpenSpace is actively deployed across data center projects in the U.S., UK, and internationally—including on a $1.2B+ hyperscale campus where OpenSpace Progress Tracking is live on foundation works, delivering advanced owner reporting, replacing time-consuming manual check-ins.
Frequently asked questions
How long does data center construction take?
Data center construction typically takes 12-24 months for hyperscale data centers, 6-12 months for edge data centers. Hitting the timeline means managing supply chain disruptions for highly specialized equipment and maintaining real-time visibility into project progress.
OpenSpace helps construction teams stay on schedule by providing complete documentation of what’s built and what’s missing. With a complete visual record of every phase, you can catch delays before they compound, and still have time to act.
What are the different types of data center construction?
Data center construction includes four main types: hyperscale facilities for cloud computing providers, enterprise data centers for single organizations, edge data centers for distributed computing, and colocation facilities for multiple tenants.
All types benefit from full visual documentation to track progress across complex builds. Whether you’re managing a single enterprise facility or coordinating multiple sites across a hyperscale campus, OpenSpace works the way your field team already does.
What are the key considerations for data center construction?
Power distribution, cooling systems, and environmental monitoring drive every decision. Data center construction projects require managing hundreds of specialized networking equipment components, ensuring compliance, and coordinating teams like specialized trades through complex infrastructure builds.
The biggest challenge is maintaining visibility across these complex systems. The OpenSpace Visual Intelligence Platform captures site reality continuously, giving project managers the clarity needed to coordinate specialized trades and verify work-in-place without relying on manual check-ins.
How does OpenSpace help with data center construction projects?
With smartphones, 360° cameras, and drone images, you’ll have continuous documentation of exactly what’s been built and what’s still missing. And our AI-powered progress tracking verifies work-in-place with human-reviewed visual evidence—giving project managers and executives a reliable picture they can act on.
Deep integrations with project management systems like Procore and Autodesk mean visual insights flow directly into existing workflows, providing the real-time visibility needed to deliver data center construction projects on time and within budget.
What makes data center construction different from other construction projects?
Data center construction involves mission-critical timelines, highly specialized equipment, and zero tolerance for errors. Unlike traditional builds, these projects require complex coordination of power management systems, cooling infrastructure, and networking equipment with strict compliance requirements.
Manual tracking can’t keep pace. OpenSpace scales with data center complexity. A complete visual record andAI-powered insights keep everyone aligned from groundbreak to commissioning.
