What happened
A Suffolk assistant superintendent walked the Ritz-Carlton Residences site with a hard-hat-mounted 360 camera so images were automatically mapped to project plans. The team used the images and Field Notes to track window wall installation progress and hold trade partners accountable.

Sanchez walked the site daily and took up to 76 Field Notes at a time, which he could quickly export into a PDF to share with his team. Images were captured and mapped to the project plans automatically, making documentation 10X faster than manual capture.
Accountability is critical on a project of this magnitude, and OpenSpace helped me manage that process much more effectively with our trade partners.
OpenSpace has made a tremendous difference on our projects. It dramatically reduces the time we spend searching for historical conditions—you can access project history with a click instead of scrolling through hours of photos. We’re capturing the project as we build it, which has significantly improved our documentation. It’s a complete tool that we use in countless ways, and it easily saves us 5–8 hours every week.
