OpenSpace
OpenSpace is a construction visual intelligence platform that maps smartphone, 360-degree, drone, and laser scan captures to floor plans and BIM so teams can document sites, compare as-built conditions to models, and coordinate from the field.
Built for jobsite teams, OpenSpace collects visual data with smartphones, 360-degree cameras, drones, and laser scanners, then aligns it to drawings and BIM. The vendor states that more than 64 billion square feet have been captured and that the product serves 131 countries (OpenSpace, 2026). The portfolio spans capture, optional BIM+ coordination, drone processing, field task products, and progress tracking, delivered as cloud software with mobile apps.
For walk-based documentation, OpenSpace publishes workflow metrics such as documenting about 25,000 square feet in 10 minutes and delivering processed captures for viewing in about 15 minutes on average (OpenSpace, 2026). Captures are timestamped and mapped to plans and models. Field Notes tie photos, comments, and voice input to locations for RFIs, observations, and punch-style follow-up.
OpenSpace BIM+ extends BIM Compare with sheet overlay, saved views, BIM element overlay in imagery, point cloud versus model comparison, BCF-friendly export paths, and offline model viewing on phones, including model intake from Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 Docs. OpenSpace Air turns drone imagery into point clouds, meshes, and orthomosaics. The vendor lists integrations such as Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360 and Build), PlanGrid, and Revizto.
Subscriptions are sold as Core or Enterprise and scale with annual construction volume instead of named-user pricing alone; OpenSpace Progress Tracking is available as an add-on (OpenSpace, 2026). Enterprise adds single sign-on, API access, and expanded services. Verify the latest contract terms and regional pricing on the official site before purchase.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Combines phones, 360-degree cameras, drones, and laser scans in one vendor workflow
- Field-oriented BIM tools and offline model viewing on mobile where offered
- Named integrations with widely used construction platforms
- Public scale metrics and case-study outcome claims on the vendor site
Cons
- No public price list; cost depends on annual construction volume and tier
- BIM+ builds on Capture; you cannot use BIM+ without the base capture product
- Typical use assumes reliable upload paths for processing and cloud access
Key features
360-degree and mobile capture: Walk the site with supported 360-degree cameras or phones while imagery maps to plans.
Spatial alignment: Automated mapping of photos and walks to floor plans and BIM for consistent location context.
Field Notes: Location-based notes, photos, and voice input tied to the visual record.
BIM Compare and BIM+: Side-by-side model and site views, sheet overlay, saved views, and point cloud checks without a desktop-only BIM seat at the trailer.
OpenSpace Air: Drone imagery processing into point clouds, meshes, and orthomosaics inside the same platform.
Integrations: Connections advertised with platforms such as Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, PlanGrid, and Revizto.
Enterprise options: SSO and APIs on Enterprise tiers for portfolio-wide rollout (OpenSpace, 2026).
Security posture: Vendor cites SOC 2 and FedRAMP Moderate authorization among its compliance references (OpenSpace, 2026).

Frequently asked questions
How much does OpenSpace cost per year?
- OpenSpace does not publish a standard public rate card. Pricing follows subscription tiers such as Core and Enterprise and scales with annual construction volume rather than a simple per-seat list (OpenSpace, 2026). Request a quote on the vendor pricing page and confirm taxes, region, and add-ons like Progress Tracking.
What is the difference between OpenSpace Capture and OpenSpace BIM+?
- OpenSpace Capture is the base reality capture and documentation product that maps imagery to plans and supports BIM Compare. OpenSpace BIM+ is an add-on module that adds deeper BIM navigation, overlays, point cloud comparisons, BCF-style exports, and related field BIM workflows on top of Capture (OpenSpace, 2026). You need Capture to use BIM+.
Does OpenSpace work with Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 Docs?
- Yes. OpenSpace BIM+ describes direct model import from Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 Docs, and the broader platform lists Autodesk Construction Cloud among its integration partners alongside tools such as Procore and PlanGrid (OpenSpace, 2026). Exact behavior depends on your ACC or Docs permissions and project setup.
Can OpenSpace export BCF for coordination tools?
- OpenSpace BIM+ includes export paths described as BCF-compatible so field notes and related data can move into BIM tools that accept BCF workflows (OpenSpace, 2026). Validate import settings and version expectations in your coordination stack.
Does OpenSpace support drones and laser scanning?
- Yes. OpenSpace Air processes drone imagery into products such as point clouds, meshes, and orthomosaics, and OpenSpace BIM+ supports comparing laser scan point clouds to models in BIM Compare-style views (OpenSpace, 2026). Hardware and file requirements appear in vendor support documentation.
Is OpenSpace available on iPhone and Android?
- The vendor provides mobile apps for Apple and Android devices for capture, viewing, and field workflows tied to projects (OpenSpace, 2026). Browser access applies for typical web project use. Check store listings for current OS support.
OpenSpace vs traditional point cloud desktop software: what does OpenSpace emphasize?
- OpenSpace emphasizes fast, walk-based and device-based capture mapped to plans and BIM, plus field distribution of that context through web and mobile. Desktop point cloud tools often focus on heavy scan editing; OpenSpace targets ongoing documentation, coordination, and integration with construction PM systems rather than replacing every specialist scan tool (OpenSpace, 2026).
