Paying for a year of OpenSpace
At Waypoint, Performance Contracting Inc. shares how OpenSpace documentation submitted for a single claim covered a year of OpenSpace.
The most key [measure put in place before Hurricane Ian] was that our jobsite was properly photographed the week of the storm. I personally walked the entire site with the OpenSpace cameras on September 26th. …On October 12th I recorded the site again. This capture paired with my September 26th capture have been the two most utilized forms of documentation during the entire claims process.
Boost your OpenSpace ROI with construction insurance savings
Save money on insurance premiums
When you document your projects regularly with OpenSpace Capture, you create safer jobsites. Images provide insights to support informed safety decisions and keep projects on track. With OpenSpace Air, you can also ingest drone imagery—capturing your projects from every angle. A complete visual record makes your projects less risky, which is why some insurers offer lower insurance premiums (including provider Shepherd).
Get paid faster with simplified insurance claims
Builders who use OpenSpace on their projects have fewer insurance claims, but if you do have to submit a claim, you’ll have all the visual proof you need. Simply add individuals to the OpenSpace project, such as a claims adjuster, and they’ll have immediate access to do their investigation as if they were on-site. Or send a URL link to share a location in your capture that you want someone to view. You can also go through your Field Notes and quickly tag and filter relevant information—then simply create a PDF for your claims report. OpenSpace enables an easier, more efficient review process so you get a faster payout.

Why choose OpenSpace for reality capture and insurance savings?
Easy
OpenSpace is quick to deploy, easy to use right out of the gate, and field teams actually use it. That means you can count on having the images you need to qualify for insurance savings, and to share for faster resolution of disputes or claims. OpenSpace is also mobile friendly—our app is rich with features that make documentation and communication efficient in the field. We work on iOS and Android devices.
Fast
To capture with OpenSpace, connect your 360° camera to our app incredibly fast with QuickConnect. Document 25K sq. ft. in 10 minutes—images are ready to view in just 15 minutes on average. That means you’ll be ready to make real-time decisions for a safer jobsite and avoiding costly mistakes. Use Field Notes to call out safety issues and ensure the right people have the right information to understand and address the problem.
Powerful
The OpenSpace Spatial AI engine uses computer vision (a special field of AI), combined with generative AI to power our platform. Our AI automatically maps images and Field Notes to your floor plans and BIM, organized by date and time so your team can easily find the information they need, rather than searching hard drives and folders to find the right documentation.
Reliable
OpenSpace is the most reliable and secure documentation solution you can count on today and in the future.
