OpenSpace Visual Intelligence Platform

OpenSpace is a construction technology company headquartered in San Francisco that describes itself as a visual intelligence platform for builders. It applies computer vision and AI to jobsite imagery so that general contractors, owners and specialty trades can see what has actually been built, reduce rework and lower project risk without sending people on repeated site walks.

Teams capture the site with a 360-degree camera mounted on a hard hat, a smartphone, drones or laser scanners, and the platform automatically places each image on the floor plan and aligns it with the BIM model. On top of this record, OpenSpace Field handles field notes and issues, BIM+ supports coordination, Air centralises drone data and Track measures progress against schedule milestones to validate work in place for billing. Customers include Suffolk, Skanska, Balfour Beatty and JLL.

• 360 capture: Records the site with a hard-hat camera walk and maps every frame to the floor plan automatically.
• Multi-source reality data: Brings drone, smartphone and laser scan data into one visual record through OpenSpace Air.
• OpenSpace Field: Lets field staff photograph an issue, describe it and trigger work in the project management system.
• BIM+ coordination: Aligns site imagery with BIM models to compare design intent with installed work.
• Track progress: Measures work in place against schedule milestones and links to P6, Asta, Microsoft Project or Excel.
• Integrations and APIs: Connects with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud and Revizto and offers AI agents and APIs.

A Vietnamese general contractor building high-rise or industrial projects can document every floor weekly and resolve disputes with subcontractors using dated imagery. A data center or factory developer in Vietnam can verify installed work against BIM and schedule milestones before approving progress payments. A property owner can keep a visual as-built record for facility management after handover.

OpenSpace says its imagery has been analysed on more than 75,000 projects in 124 countries. Published case studies cite a one-month acceleration of project delivery at Suffolk, a 50% cut in travel costs at JLL, 20% fewer scheduling delays at The Boldt Company and 95% faster site documentation at NOVO Construction. Track captures about 25,000 sq ft in roughly 10 minutes, with imagery viewable about 15 minutes later.

Reality capture is becoming standard on large commercial, data center and infrastructure projects, where owners demand visual proof of progress before releasing payments. Contractors in Southeast Asia face tighter schedules and labour shortages, which pushes them towards computer vision tools that reduce manual site walks and connect field imagery with BIM and scheduling data.

Headquartered at 333 Kearny St., San Francisco; co-founder and CEO Jeevan Kalanithi. Offers regional instances for Australia, Canada, the EU, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and the UK and a Japanese-language site. Track is powered by Disperse, and the disperse.io domain now redirects to the OpenSpace progress tracking page. Partners include OPTIMA in the Middle East.
