Description
OpenSpace is a jobsite progress monitoring platform that combines simple off-the-shelf 360° cameras, computer vision, and AI to create a complete visual record of a construction site, shared through the cloud so teams can track progress remotely. Rather than relying on subjective written updates or scattered phone photos, a walkthrough captured with a 360° camera is automatically processed and mapped to the project’s floor plans, letting anyone review site conditions from any location without physically being there. The platform has been deployed on more than 85,000 projects worldwide and has captured over 4 billion square feet of active construction. Pricing isn’t published; it’s set by project scope and requires a direct quote, consistent with other enterprise construction platforms. It suits general contractors, owners, and project teams — especially those managing multiple sites — who need objective, camera-verified visual documentation of progress rather than relying on manual reporting.
Key Features
- 360° site capture — walkthroughs recorded with off-the-shelf 360° cameras, no specialized equipment required.
- Automatic floor plan mapping — captured footage is aligned to project plans for easy navigation.
- Cloud-based remote access — team members can review site conditions from anywhere without visiting in person.
- Progress tracking over time — compares captures across dates to verify actual progress against schedule.
- Computer vision analysis — AI helps surface relevant conditions and changes across large volumes of footage.
- Multi-site support — built to scale across portfolios of projects, not just a single jobsite.
How It Works
A team member walks the jobsite wearing or carrying an off-the-shelf 360° camera, capturing a complete visual record of current conditions rather than a handful of selective photos. That footage uploads to OpenSpace’s cloud platform, where computer vision automatically maps it to the project’s floor plans, so anyone reviewing the capture can navigate the site visually and jump to a specific location rather than scrubbing through raw video. Because captures happen on a regular cadence, the platform lets a team compare conditions across different dates to verify actual progress against the schedule, replacing subjective status updates with a visual, camera-verified record everyone can review independently. This is particularly useful for owners, lenders, or project stakeholders who want to check on progress without physically visiting the site, and for multi-site operators who need a consistent way to monitor several active projects at once without traveling between them.
Technical Architecture & Overview
- Core Engine: Computer vision for automatic floor plan mapping and progress analysis; specific underlying model architecture not published on OpenSpace’s official site.
- Deployment: Cloud-based platform paired with off-the-shelf 360° camera hardware; no proprietary camera required.
- API Surface: Cloud-based sharing and review; specific developer API not publicly documented.
- Known Limits: No published pricing; quote is based on project scope. OpenSpace documents visual progress but doesn’t itself optimize schedules or generate estimates — those are separate tools.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Uses simple, off-the-shelf 360° cameras rather than requiring specialized or proprietary hardware | No published pricing; every deployment requires a direct quote based on project scope |
| Established scale, with deployment across 85,000+ projects and 4 billion+ square feet captured | Documents visual progress but doesn’t itself optimize scheduling or generate cost estimates |
| Objective, camera-verified record replaces subjective status updates and scattered phone photos | Value depends on consistent, regular capture discipline from site teams |
| Well suited to multi-site operators needing a consistent way to monitor several projects remotely | No self-serve trial or transparent starting price to test before committing |
Our Take
OpenSpace’s real advantage is objectivity — a 360° camera walkthrough is a much harder record to dispute or misremember than a written status update, and the scale (85,000+ projects, 4B+ square feet captured) suggests this approach has genuinely proven out across a wide range of project types. It’s a documentation and verification tool, not a scheduling or estimating one, which makes it naturally complementary to ALICE Technologies or Togal.AI rather than a competitor to either.
Not ideal for: teams looking for predictive scheduling optimization or cost estimating — OpenSpace’s strength is capturing and verifying what’s actually happening on site, not forecasting what should happen next; that’s ALICE’s and Togal.AI’s job respectively.
Pricing
OpenSpace does not publish pricing on its official site. Cost is based on project scope and requires a direct quote, consistent with other enterprise construction technology platforms. There is no self-serve trial or published starting figure; requesting a demo through OpenSpace’s site is the starting point for a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does OpenSpace publish pricing?
No. OpenSpace pricing is based on project scope and requires a direct quote; there’s no published rate card.
Do I need special equipment to use OpenSpace?
No. OpenSpace works with simple, off-the-shelf 360° cameras rather than requiring specialized or proprietary hardware.
How does OpenSpace map footage to floor plans?
Computer vision automatically aligns captured 360° walkthrough footage to the project’s floor plans, letting users navigate the capture visually rather than scrubbing through raw video.
How widely is OpenSpace used?
OpenSpace has been deployed on more than 85,000 projects worldwide and has captured over 4 billion square feet of active construction.
How does OpenSpace differ from ALICE Technologies?
OpenSpace documents and verifies actual jobsite progress through visual capture, while ALICE Technologies simulates and optimizes construction schedules before work begins — the two address different phases of a project.
