OpenSpace lets construction firms track progress

California-based AI-powered analytic firm OpenSpace is helping construction teams quickly capture visual jobsite data and generate actionable insights.

Called OpenSpace Progress Tracking, it enables earlier detection of productivity issues and cost overruns.

Progress Tracking can be used to validate work-in-place for billing, identify schedule risks early by comparing actual progress with planned milestones, coordinate more effectively across trades, and deliver clear, visual progress summaries to all stakeholders. As a result, teams can make more informed decisions and better manage project schedules and budgets.

“OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse’s advanced analytics, allows us to spot productivity issues much earlier in the project – sometimes as early as 10% completion – giving us critical time to address them before they escalate,” said Vito Antuofermo, vice president at Commodore Construction (www.commodoreconstruction.com). “In the past, we might not have realised significant cost overruns until halfway through a project, often too late to fully correct course. This early visibility helps us prevent costly delays and improve overall project outcomes.”

Disperse (www.disperse.io), a specialist in construction progress tracking, uses milestone-based progress tracking and reporting. The UK firm’s platform combines jobsite imagery with expert human verification to provide an objective, trusted and detailed view of what’s been built, and what hasn’t.

By pairing OpenSpace’s AI-powered reality capture platform with Disperse’s analysis, Progress Tracking (www.openspace.ai/products/progress-tracking) provides accurate, flexible and scalable progress tracking with no additional resources from the project team needed. 

“OpenSpace Progress Tracking offers a smarter, more advanced alternative to our previous progress tracking,” said Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO of OpenSpace “We’re now combining the speed and scale of our reality capture platform with Disperse’s milestone-based insights to unlock a new level of clarity on the construction site. Project teams gain reliable, up-to-date information they can act on, helping them spot and resolve issues sooner, reduce costly rework, and keep construction moving efficiently. It’s about turning complex data into clear guidance so teams can stay ahead.”

OpenSpace (www.openspace.ai) is a computer vision and AI company that helps commercial builders reduce risk and increase efficiency. Its image-first platform streamlines coordination between field and office teams, with tools that bring visibility and insights from pre-construction through operations. To date, customers have captured imagery on nearly 70,000 construction projects across 99 countries.
