Total clarity for confident decisions

Frequently asked questions

• What is OpenSpace?

  • OpenSpace is the Visual Intelligence Platform for builders. We help general contractors make better decisions, faster, based on reality, not opinions or siloed documents.
  • Capture your sites with smartphones, 360° cameras, and drones. Our Spatial AI engine turns that imagery into intelligence by anchoring it to time, place, and your plans and a model (if applicable).
  • One platform, five products that work together across the project lifecycle:
    • OpenSpace Capture: the foundational visual record of your project
    • OpenSpace Air: drone imagery management
    • OpenSpace Field: image-first task management with AI Autolocation
    • OpenSpace BIM+: 3D model navigation for the field
    • OpenSpace Track: reliable progress tracking grounded in reality data
  • Used on 100,000+ projects across 131 countries, with 69 billion+ sq ft of structured visual data on the platform.

• What is the difference between OpenSpace and other reality capture tools?

  • Most tools document. OpenSpace helps you act. Reality capture is becoming table stakes; what happens after capture is the real difference.
  • Image-first workflows: tap once from a photo to create a Procore Observation, Procore Punch item, or Autodesk Issue. No double entry, no manual pinning.
  • Spatial AI: imagery is automatically located in space and time and connected to your plans, models, and workflows. Captured by anyone, useful to everyone.
  • Field-first by design. Built around how superintendents, PMs, and crews actually work.
  • The largest visual intelligence foundation in construction (69 billion+ sq ft and growing), which is what powers our AI advantage.

• How quickly can I start capturing? How fast is your processing speed?

  • Project setup takes 5 to 10 minutes. Upload your plans, mark your starting point, and capture.
  • Capture however fits the job: 360° camera on a hard hat, smartphone with AI Autolocation in OpenSpace Field, or drone via OpenSpace Air.
  • Images are ready to view in ~15 minutes on average, automatically aligned to your BIM model and plans.
  • Smartphone, 360°, and drone imagery all flow into the same platform, so you skip tool-switching and reconciliation.

• How easy is it to roll out OpenSpace at scale and gain adoption?

  • Built for the field from day one. Capturing adds little to no extra work to a normal walk, so adoption sticks.
  • Works on Android and iOS. Integrates with the tools your teams already use (Procore, Autodesk, Revizto, P6).
  • Free, on-demand training via OpenSpace Academy and 24×6 support to keep teams moving.
  • The most widely adopted 360° capture platform in construction. Functionality only matters if teams actually use it.
  • Suffolk Construction scaled OpenSpace from a single project to roughly half of all projects.

• Does OpenSpace work with drones?

  • Yes. OpenSpace Air imports drone-captured imagery and transforms it into point clouds, 3D meshes, and orthomosaics, all inside the same platform you already use for interior captures.
  • Compatible with DJI, Skydio, and Esri-supported drones. No separate platform, no specialist service to interpret the data.
  • Use Air for site logistics, earthworks, cut/fill analysis, and exterior progress alongside your 360° interior walks for full-site visibility from preconstruction through closeout.

• Does OpenSpace use AI? What about AI agents?

  • Yes. OpenSpace has been AI-powered since day one. Our Spatial AI engine is what makes Visual Intelligence possible: it locates every image in space and time, understands what’s in it, and connects it to plans, models, and workflows.
  • Newer AI capabilities include AI Autolocation in OpenSpace Field (real-time indoor positioning without beacons or special hardware) and AI Voice Notes (spoken field context turned into structured, searchable insights).
  • On AI agents: agents are coming to construction, and they need eyes. The structured visual data on OpenSpace is exactly the foundation agents require to operate on a jobsite. We’re working with a small group of builder partners through an Early Access program on agent use cases like issue review, safety, and site search.
  • To go deeper, see our CEO and CTO posts on Visual Intelligence and “agents with eyes” on the OpenSpace blog.

• Do big companies work with OpenSpace?

  • Yes. OpenSpace scales from single renovations to multi-year megaprojects, and from one jobsite to global portfolios.
  • 100,000+ projects across 131 countries. Customers include Suffolk, Balfour Beatty, Kitchell, Lee Kennedy, Level 10, NIBBI, and Tishman Speyer.
  • Enterprise-ready: SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, SSO, and regional data residency across the US, EU, UK, AU, CA, JP, KSA, and SG.
  • Backed by blue-chip investors with nearly $200M raised to date.

• What other software does OpenSpace integrate with?

  • Deep two-way integrations with Procore (Observations, Punch) and Autodesk (Issues).
  • Tap once from imagery in OpenSpace Field to create issues directly in your system of record, mapped to your existing templates and fields.
  • Also integrates with Revizto and scheduling tools (P6, Asta, Microsoft Project, Excel) through OpenSpace Track for progress and schedule data.
  • Images API, Field Notes API, and Usage API for custom workflows and BI reporting.
  • SSO across the suite.
