Community Events Updates - May 2022Updates

📢 OPENSPACE COMMUNITY EVENTS UPDATES! Lots of moves are being made so we can host more in-person Community events this year. This is new for us -- we’ve mostly connected digitally since we launched… but to take our networking and relationship-building to the next level, we want to start meeting you all and connecting you all to each other in person! 🌞 Here are some exciting updates. 😀🍻 If you missed it, we already have our FIRST Community happy hour scheduled in New York! It will be on May 24th. The event is free but space is limited so we require RSVP. Make sure to reserve your spot now and RSVP! I will be there along with several members of the OpenSpace team, and we’d love to meet you all. (thanks to everyone who participated in the initial poll to determine the venue of this first event) 👉🥂 After our New York happy hour in May, we are already working on the next two: Chicago in June and Seattle in July. Keep an eye out for updates in the Community once details are set for tho

Plan Grid Intergration

@OpenSpace Product Thank you for releasing the Plan Grid Integration. I haven’t experimented with it yet but I am an avid user of Plan Grid on my construction projects. It will be a great tool to link RFIs and Tasks visually from OpenSpace into Plan Grid. Have a great 4th!!

User Experience Questions

I am a new adopter and I am working to develop the best implementation for my company. After a few hands on captures I have a few ideas and questions. I may be alone in some of these comments.To jump into a capture it’s called “IMAGES” which was initially confusing. This could potentially be improved by calling it something else like “Captures” or “3D photos” or even “Enter”. I get the symbology now as I see it used elsewhere, but if it was a different color it might pop better to indicate that’s what you really want to see.The scroll feature seems disproportionate. I feel like I need five or six full scroll wheel units to zoom into the part of the floor plan I want to see. I find myself using the floor plan to navigate a lot, and I am really exercising my scroll wheel finger. The zoom similarly feels slow. This may all be part of the software intending to be phone/tablet based, but I see myself looking at these captures on my computer often.  Is there a way to set a preference to the

A Letter from the OpenSpace CEO: Let's meet!

Hi Community!Jeevan here 👋 CEO of OpenSpace. OpenSpace was built on the jobsite, from day 1: my co-founders and I worked on the concept with builders in those very early days, and I spent pretty much every day on the site during that period. We exist to serve builders, and we know OpenSpace can only get better with customer input. This is why I wanted to reach out to you! I want to meet more of you and learn from you. Anything you love (or hate!) about OpenSpace? Got a feature you wish we would build? I’m all ears. The construction industry is a tight-knit network, and one that thrives when like-minded individuals work toward common goals. So let's connect, learn from each other, and work together to innovate! Want to meet and chat with me? 😁Schedule a 30-minute 1:1 with me!Send an email to jeevan-customer@openspace.ai to get a meeting scheduled.

Virtual Tour Idea

There seems to be a lot of great folks on some good projects, and thought it may be a good idea to have a virtual jobsite walkthrough on a project that maybe someone wouldn’t be able to see otherwise.  I may not be heading to California soon, but it would be fun to see some of the projects that the community has going on.

Community Summer

I would like to see the community do something that was a fun collaborative competition. This would be a fun way to get to know others and work with people that are within the industry. You could enter if you wanted then the teams could be selected from that group of people. Just a fun idea.

Construction Safety Week 2022

Construction Safety Week 2022 runs from May 2nd to May 6th, and this year’s theme is:Connected. Supported. Safe.  The focus is all about mental and emotional health, which hasn’t typically been as openly discussed in construction safety conversations as physical health and safety has been. But especially with everything the industry has undergone in the last couple of years, it feels so right, so relevant, and so impactful to highlight this theme now. Did you know that 1 in 5 construction workers struggle with anxiety, depression & other mental health issues? - Industry Research, presented on the Construction Safety Week website Below is an excerpt from the Construction Safety Week website explaining this year’s theme: Being connected gives us strength, because it means we are not alone. It means we’re side-by-side in building a stronger, safer industry, and in creating a safe, supportive environment for our workers. Supported means we are here to help each other stay present and f

Joint Tech Summit (DC/MD/VA)

If you’re in the DC/MD/VA in the next month, there’s an ABC event (both members and non-members allowed) on June 23rd titled the Joint Tech Summit.  It looks like a pretty good mix of ConTech companies, general contractors and subcontractors on the panel all focusing on tech in the industry and some topics on methodology.  I’m balancing my schedule to see if I can get up there, but thought that there may be someone else that would be interested as well.Joint Tech Summit

Opening the Door to ClearSight Door Tracking!Product Update

 🔎 What?A new progress tracker! 📈 Leverage the power of ClearSight to ensure you never lose track of another door ever again. With ClearSight door tracking, users can track the installation of door frames and hanging of door panels across the entire project. Hours of walking the site counting doors with a notebook can be reduced to minutes with OpenSpace’s passive capture and ClearSight’s intuitive progress dashboards. Know the installation status of any door, monitor crew productivity, get clear visibility into remaining work, and so much more with ClearSight door tracking. 🤔 Why did we build this?Because we all know doors can be a pain 😅 Miscommunication between contractors and vendors, production issues, delivery mixups, and simply losing material on site make the process of managing the installation of doors complex and at times frustrating. We understand that anyone managing the installation of doors needs as much actionable data at their fingertips so that a missing frame or

Snapspheres - Has anyone seen/used this?

Just ran across this service and wanted to see if anyone has tried it:https://www.snapspheres.com/ It takes a 360 photo and prints it onto magnetic tiles that assemble to make a sphere!  Seems like it would be a good way to display some completed project photos rather than the standard 2D wall mounted.  Thought it was interesting.
