Construction Week Online reported that Wadan Developments, a growing Dubai developer, has deployed OpenSpace across its active construction projects, working alongside its in-house construction arm Autolink Contracting. The collaboration gives Wadan’s teams a continuous visual record of each project, enabling faster decisions, cleaner comparisons between planned and actual conditions, and stronger connectivity between office and field. It is a meaningful signal that visual intelligence technology is becoming standard practice for developers building at scale across the Gulf.
Construction Week Online is one of the leading trade publications for the construction and real estate industry across the Middle East and Africa, making this coverage particularly meaningful. Wadan Developments is not a technology company running a pilot program; it is a growing Dubai developer bringing OpenSpace into production use across multiple concurrent projects. The article describes how teams are using visual records to compare planned versus actual conditions, move faster on decisions, and keep office teams connected to site activity in real time. That picture, a developer embedding visual intelligence into how it actually operates, is what adoption looks like at scale. For other developers across the Gulf evaluating OpenSpace, the Wadan story is a direct peer reference.
The article also highlights a benefit that often goes unnoticed until handover: the lasting value of a visual record after construction is complete. Facility management and maintenance teams at Wadan will be able to reference historical captures to understand what sits behind finished walls and surfaces, making it easier to locate, diagnose, and address needs without guesswork. That return on investment extends well beyond the active construction phase. For developers managing growing portfolios across multiple simultaneous projects, this kind of persistent, searchable visual record is increasingly difficult to do without.
