The OpenSpace platform allows Unispace project teams to virtually capture and thoroughly document sites, while adding detailed images and notes to site plans. This has increased efficiencies during punch lists and observations, and improved interdisciplinary collaboration and client communication. Delivery teams are able to track progress from anywhere at any time, providing transparency throughout construction and allowing them to deliver projects more quickly, while reducing margins for error and cost.
Unispace has piloted OpenSpace’s technology on projects in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Toronto, Australia and New Zealand. In wake of the pandemic and the shift to remote collaboration, the platform was an invaluable asset to the various project teams. It allowed them to continue construction onsite without delays, across borders, and communicate clearly with project teams throughout.

“OpenSpace has been an integral tool during the Covid-19 pandemic. It has allowed clients and our team members to safely stay up-to-date with the progress, safety, and overall state of the project,” said Site Manager, Michael Cosimano. “All disciplines; from pre-construction project management, design, delivery, and all upper management can be virtually on site when something arises. This allows the team members to arrive to an efficient resolution.”
In New Zealand, the country reputed to be at the forefront of the pandemic wave, OpenSpace combined with Unispace’s lean delivery principles were critical to reducing a project delivery timeframe by a third despite Covid-19 lockdown measures. Principal of Construction, Arwen Dickinson notes, “OpenSpace provided contactless assistance in tracking project progress, reducing numbers on site and ultimately contributing to increasing site safety and reducing risk to the overall project. We successfully delivered the project in eight weeks instead of fourteen.”
