Construction Digital has named OpenSpace the number two site monitoring platform in its 2026 Top 10 list, recognising how the company uses AI to capture, understand and act on jobsite reality. The feature highlights why major contractors including Skanska, Balfour Beatty and Mace rely on OpenSpace for real time visual context across every corner of their projects.
Being recognised among the leading site monitoring platforms reflects a shift that our customers have been driving for years. Construction teams no longer want isolated tools that produce data no one uses. They want connected visibility that ties field reality to schedules, issues, reports and decisions in one place. OpenSpace Field, powered by AI Autolocation, was built for exactly that. Every task, note and photo is automatically anchored to the right spot on the plan, whether captured during a walkthrough with a 360° camera or taken on a phone inside a finished room. That continuity of context is what turns site monitoring from a reporting exercise into a daily operating system for project teams.
The breadth of the Top 10, spanning drones, sensors, workforce tools and image capture, also signals something important about where the industry is heading. Site monitoring is no longer a single technology category. It is the connective layer that lets every other system on a project, from scheduling to safety, operate on current ground truth. As AI gets better at understanding construction, the teams that win will be those feeding it the richest, most continuous record of their sites. That is the foundation OpenSpace has been building with customers since 2017, and it is what makes every new capability, from AI Autolocation to drone mapping, compound in value over time. Explore how teams use OpenSpace Field to turn site capture into action.
