Streamline the Build with 360° Images: Webinar Raffle!

The integration with the Bim model and the 3D captures has made life easier! When it comes to owner meetings, QA/QC, look-backs/look-a-heads, etc OpenSpace makes it all seamless and very enjoyable to work with. Also makes it easy to to showcase our work to clients and future partners.

Greater control over the entire construction site and easier documentation.

With companies limiting travel and the rise in travel costs we have used Open space to walk through project locations and share with construction personnel to help them bid jobs and answer RFIs.  This has reduced costs with travel and reduced confusion with certain aspects of the project.  We have also used it to report out the progress of the project with Senior Management. 

Technology has made it much easier to track revisions and costs allow for less mistakes, less revisions, and faster turnaround. It also allows us to deliver a product more closely aligned to what our clients are looking for. 

Openspace has been great for documentation and the consultants with a smaller scope making it less financially feasible for site visits to see what is going on site and give more accurate advice.

Technology has helped us communicate effectively across dispersed teams. We’re now sharing folders of captures with clients which has helped them not live in the home when it’s being renovated and feel confident discussing visual information.

   I love the idea and the technology / AI behind OpenSpace.  It completely changes the traditional workflows for documenting a jobsite and communicating information between the various stakeholders.  It was a journey to get here and find OpenSpace, and I am so glad that I did.  This platform provides a solution to so many reoccurring time-consuming traditional daily/weekly tasks, and hence will without a doubt be adopted throughout the industry at a rapid clip from the top down (starting with the biggest CMs and Mechanical Contractors) and also just via word of mouth.  There are so many use cases such as for scheduling, dispute resolution, communication with offsite individuals (BIM, PX, estimators, owners, etc.), future presentations, observations / constructability / learning, etc.  What makes it a total win is that it is all just so fast to do.  A turnkey solution.

   The sales team and team of developers are awesome to work with as well!  I love the side-by-side compare functionality that allows you to compare varying capture dates as well the current BIM model (although I wish there was a way to get the navigation functionality “walking feet” similar to Navisworks, but I have gotten used to Autodesk Forge enough to make my way around.  It would be great if the viewpoints from Navisworks were also available for use.  Maybe in a future update).

   I love the integration with the iPhone, iPad, PC, etc.  With the features that are available they are very smooth.  There have been a few instances where I was unable to progress further within the app due to weak internet connection, which was frustrating, but that is the problem of the environment and not the platform.  It would be nice if there was some kind of cache or recent local storage of the last capture so that even with weak internet it would still operating smoothly regardless of internet speed.  I have discovered a few inconsistencies between platforms as well. i.e. the iPhone does not allow you to view the BIM model in a side by side, the iPad doesn’t allow you to crop the drawings within the app (to my knowledge) although you can log-on to the web url via the iPad to accomplish this, etc.

   This is the future!  I am sure that this is only the tip of the iceberg for what is going to be capable by the software over the next 5-10 years.  It will only continue to improve with each new hardware product release as well as each new software iteration.  I am really excited to see what the future has in store for us all.  

Hello Gabe who is the winner !!! :)
