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.
