OpenSpace Launches Visual Intelligence Platform for Construction

SAN FRANCISCO — OpenSpace has officially launched its new Visual Intelligence Platform, a breakthrough system designed to bring real-time visibility and intelligence to construction projects worldwide. The announcement came during the company’s Waypoint customer summit on September 9, 2025, where industry leaders gathered to see how the technology could redefine how field and office teams work together.

The platform transforms reality data into actionable insights, closing the long-standing gap between financial tracking systems like ERP platforms and project management software that coordinates processes—but often fails to capture what’s happening on the ground.

Real-Time Field Intelligence

“With OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform, we finally have real-time visibility into what’s happening on all our projects, across our entire business,” said Paul Chambers, Project Director at Skanska UK. “Instead of relying on delayed reports, our teams can spot issues immediately, make faster decisions, and reduce costly surprises. It’s a new level of confidence for both our field teams and our leadership.”

OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform builds on its established suite of tools—OpenSpace Capture, OpenSpace BIM+, and OpenSpace Air—which have enabled project teams to document sites with 360° cameras, drones, and laser scanners. The new expansion, including OpenSpace Field and OpenSpace Progress Tracking, moves the company beyond documentation into true intelligence-driven workflows.

OpenSpace Field: AI-Powered, Image-First

At the core of the platform is OpenSpace Field, powered by the company’s advanced Spatial AI. Using just a smartphone, teams can now capture site data, automatically pin it to floor plans, and align it with BIM models. Seamless integration with platforms like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud ensures smoother coordination across stakeholders.

Beta users of OpenSpace Field reported up to 85% time savings when performing routine tasks such as punch lists and issue logging.

“What I like most about OpenSpace is how easy it is for our crews to use,” said Felipe Dominguez, product manager for construction technology at Suffolk. “With the new AI features of OpenSpace Field, we can take a photo, say what we see, and trigger work in our project management system. It saves us time, and it helps all of our stakeholders, from trade partners to owners, stay aligned to keep the project moving forward.”

Progress Tracking and Executive Insights

The OpenSpace Progress Tracking tool extends the platform’s capabilities further, turning field data into executive-level insights. It enables project leaders to:

• Validate work-in-place for billing.
• Identify potential schedule risks early by comparing actual progress with milestones.
• Share clear, trusted progress updates with all stakeholders.

It also integrates with widely used scheduling systems such as Primavera P6, Asta, Microsoft Project, and Excel.

A Shift in How Construction Uses Data

“For years, reality capture has been treated as a nice-to-have—useful for documentation or dispute resolution,” said Jeevan Kalanithi, co-founder and CEO of OpenSpace. “With today’s launch, we are moving beyond reality capture, and redefining reality data as a strategic asset that simplifies workflows and fuels results, from the field to the C-Suite. Looking forward, we plan to expand on image-first workflows and bring clarity to every project, every portfolio, every business, and to the industry at large.”

Industry Impact and Global Reach

OpenSpace’s push into intelligence marks a broader shift in the construction sector toward field-first, image-driven systems of work. By leveraging computer vision and AI, OpenSpace is positioning its platform as a complement to ERP and project management systems, offering what neither can provide: a true, real-time picture of field conditions.

The company already has a vast global footprint, with more than 75,000 projects across 124 countries using its tools—spanning over 52 billion square feet of construction space. Customers include industry leaders like Suffolk, Comfort Systems, and Tishman Speyer, all relying on OpenSpace to improve coordination, reduce risk, and deliver projects faster.

Industry analysts note that platforms like OpenSpace could become increasingly important as labor shortages, tight project schedules, and cost overruns continue to pressure the construction sector. By offering field visibility at scale, OpenSpace is giving builders a way to respond more quickly to challenges on site and at the executive level.
