Save 100s of hours on coordination
With greater visibility into its projects, Boldt Construction keeps the schedule and flow of the job going.
Accelerate your project by a month
Suffolk Construction delivered early by keeping teams accountable and enhancing coordination.
Address labor shortages
Using Field Notes for issue mapping, Commodore Construction freed up the equivalent of two full-time salaries, so teams can focus on other tasks.
OpenSpace allows us to have real-time coordination with our project teams when they’re remote. If we walk on a Tuesday and have an RFI meeting on a Wednesday, we can pull up that walk and the model and clarify and coordinate issues in real time.

Simplify coordination with OpenSpace
Efficient image-based field coordination
Letting the right people know what work needs to happen on-site is easy, organized, and visual with OpenSpace. As you’re walking, grab your mobile device, take a photo (or pull up an existing image), and get the ball rolling by creating a Field Note in OpenSpace. Mark up the photo and add comments and any relevant information to help illustrate the issue. Communication with Field Notes is the fastest way to get answers—visuals help everyone involved understand the problem and the comment history eliminates confusion.
Design coordination from the field or office
With OpenSpace Capture, your jobsite is fully documented, meaning architects, design engineers, and consultants can access a complete visual record of the project without being in the field. If you need to change a design or propose a new one, simply refer to OpenSpace to see the existing site conditions—that means relying less on the field team to answer questions, saving everyone time.
Easy BIM coordination for everyone
OpenSpace helps you visually spot potential clashes, determine the correct sequencing of systems, and identify possible changes needed in the design. View and compare existing site conditions to your fully aligned model to see and communicate what’s been installed and what the next course of action should be.
Resolving RFIs faster than ever
Handling a request for information (RFI) is fast and easy when your project is documented with OpenSpace. Rather than going on-site to take a new photo, navigate to the location in OpenSpace to find what you need and start coordinating right away. Create a Field Note and send it to your internal team for possible resolution. If you need to involve others, push your Field Note to your project management system as an RFI—complete with the image, markups, and comments so the design team has everything they need to respond quickly.
Smart issue management with Field Notes
Field Notes makes it easy to create and manage issues or failed items on a checklist. When on-site doing a capture and running through the checklist, flag a correction by simply taking a photo with Field Notes and assigning the note to the right person. OpenSpace automatically pins your Field Note to the floor plan, so you can move on to the next item. When you’re done with the walk, no need to type up a report—instead quickly generate a PDF report of all Field Notes to send to the responsible team members so they can address issues right away.
Improved change order requests with OpenSpace
When submitting change order requests, use OpenSpace to provide all the backup documentation you need. Whether you need to prove when material arrived on-site or how long it took to complete an activity, OpenSpace has all the images timestamped, dated, and mapped on the floorplan for easy reference.
Why choose OpenSpace for design, BIM, and field coordination?
Easy
OpenSpace is quick to deploy, easy to use right out of the gate, and field teams actually use it, meaning you’ll have the data you need for coordination. And we’re very mobile friendly—our app is rich with features that make work in the field more efficient. It’s intuitive and it works on iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
Powerful
The OpenSpace Vision Engine uses computer vision (a special field of AI) to power our platform, giving you the information you need to make quick decisions. Our Timelapse Video feature is another robust, simple way to make the most of your data. Click a button to generate and share videos showcasing your project.
Fast
To capture, connect your 360° camera to our app incredibly fast with QuickConnect. Team members can quickly access on-site conditions from anywhere to get the information they need. Keep the job moving using Field Notes on your device—capture details about your project, communicate visually. Multiple model support and Saved Views in OpenSpace BIM+ make it a snap to view the model you want and jump to a saved model state.
Reliable
OpenSpace is the most reliable and secure documentation solution. And our integrations give you the convenience and efficiency of having your data in one place—skip the double entry by linking OpenSpace to tools including Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud. Import your Field Notes into your project management or BIM coordination software for RFIs, observations, punch lists, and more.
