## What the story says

Suffolk, a national general contractor, uses OpenSpace reality capture, aerial drone imagery, field notes and progress tracking as a standardized site intelligence platform embedded in its operating procedures. Teams use it for site documentation, coordination meetings, owner communication, punch and closeout, and preconstruction existing-conditions documentation.

> 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.
