Powerful remote management made simple
When you (or any project team member or stakeholder) need to visit a site but can’t get there, simply open your 360° capture and virtually visit the project. OpenSpace is as easy to navigate as Google Street View. On your virtual walk, use Field Notes to make comments and assign action items—efficient, visual communication from anywhere.
Save time with virtual QA/QC
Quality control in construction is easier with virtual QA/QC walks. Access your 360° capture from your desk and walk the site as if you were at the job. When you spot an item that needs to be addressed, create a Field Note with all relevant details, including an image. You can continue to remotely track all communication in Field Notes, making it easy to check on the status of issues, all the way through resolution.
Manage multiple projects without the travel
Traveling to jobsites takes time and money. OpenSpace can reduce the amount of flying and driving you might normally do to manage a project or multiple projects—customers even report a 50% reduction in travel time. Anytime you need to make decisions from a distance, occasionally or for an extended period of time, OpenSpace has you covered. Walk your site virtually, find what you’re looking for, and move on to the next job.
Conduct more productive OAC meetings
Instead of shuffling through thumbnail images in multiple folders during owner, architect, and contractor (OAC) meetings, you can access your virtual record in OpenSpace to easily show the area of discussion. As you’re talking, quickly jump to the relevant spot in OpenSpace. Everyone can see what’s going on and talk about the project as if they were standing on-site.
Collaborate with experts without delay
Project consultants—architects, engineers, and others—are working multiple jobs and typically not on-site. When you need their expertise on an issue, share your OpenSpace capture so they can review the site conditions, compare the model next to images with BIM Compare, and get to resolving the problem. OpenSpace makes it easy for any other expert, such as a sustainability consultant, to conduct site inspections from afar. Plus, if you’re working with someone who isn’t an OpenSpace user on your project, you can share a link to a capture for easy review.
Resolve RFIs without a site visit
Resolving a request for information (RFI) is faster than ever with OpenSpace. Rather than heading to the job to take a new photo, you can navigate to the location in OpenSpace, find what you need, and start coordinating. Create a Field Note and send it to your internal team for resolution. Or, push your Field Note to your project management system as an RFI—complete with the image, markups, and comments so the design team has what they need to respond quickly.
Why choose OpenSpace for remote access and coordination?
Easy
OpenSpace is quick to deploy, easy to use right out of the gate, and field teams actually use it. That means everyone has access to a complete visual record of your site for efficient remote access. Plus our mobile app is rich with features you can use for remote work when you’re not at your desk. Our app is intuitive and works on iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
Fast
To capture with OpenSpace, connect your 360° camera to our app incredibly fast with QuickConnect. Document 25K sq. ft. in just 10 minutes—images are ready to view in just 15 minutes on average. Access on-site conditions from anywhere and create Field Notes to call out issues and communicate visually, keeping the job moving.
Powerful
The OpenSpace Vision Engine uses computer vision (a special field of AI) to power our platform. Our AI automatically maps images and Field Notes to your floor plans, so your team can easily find the information they need and make informed decisions from home, while traveling, or in the office.
Reliable
OpenSpace is the most reliable and secure documentation solution. And our integrations give you the convenience of having your data in one place—skip the double entry by linking OpenSpace to tools like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud. Import any items or deficiencies captured in your Field Notes into your project management software as observations, tasks, or issues.
