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 on a regular basis with OpenSpace Capture, you have safer jobsites. Your images provide the insights you need to make informed decisions about safety and keep your project on track. And since having a complete visual record of your projects makes them less risky, some insurers will offer you lower insurance premiums. (Learn about an offering from Shepherd for OpenSpace customers.)
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.
Cover your cost of OpenSpace with Shepherd Savings
We partnered with technology-enabled insurance provider Shepherd, to offer OpenSpace customers the unique Shepherd Savings program. Based on significant correlations between OpenSpace usage and improved claims outcomes (i.e., reduction in the occurrence of claims and in the size of losses), Shepherd is making the program available to qualified customers. Shepherd Savings takes OpenSpace usage data into account in the underwriting process and applies credits to your proposal—up to 25% premium savings, offsetting your cost of OpenSpace. Learn more in Shepherd’s announcement. If you’re already an OpenSpace customer, contact Shepherd to learn more.
Resolve disputes quickly with visual proof
If you encounter a dispute on your project, such as damage on-site or missing equipment, you can use your OpenSpace captures to get answers fast. With the Split View feature, you can compare what a captured area looked like on two different dates. Images remove confusion, make it simple to identify the responsible team, and help resolve the dispute.
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. And our integrations give you the convenience of having your data in one place—our data flows to the tools you use, like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud. Import your Field Notes into your project management software for RFIs, observations, tasks, and more.
