OpenSpace

What is OpenSpace?

OpenSpace is a cutting-edge reality capture software tool designed for the construction industry. It enables builders to capture and analyze construction sites effectively. Users can document their construction sites by attaching a camera and recording the desired area, which is then automatically mapped onto the site's plans by the OpenSpace VisionEngine. This process creates a comprehensive, as-built record of the building from preconstruction to handover and operation. OpenSpace facilitates project progress tracking, work verification, coordination improvement, and risk reduction through features like BIM Compare and Split View. Additionally, OpenSpace Track, powered by AI, enhances project management capabilities by providing tools like Field Notes for streamlined communication of changes, QA/QC documentation, and punch list and RFI streamlining. The tool's integrations offer smooth workflows and have garnered trust from industry leaders worldwide.

Who created OpenSpace?

OpenSpace was founded by Jeevan Kalanithi, who serves as the CEO and Co-Founder. The company was launched on January 20, 2022, with a mission to provide intuitive tools for construction projects to enhance collaboration and efficiency globally.
