Bring the Site into the Meeting
Stop Chasing Site Updates.
See It. Discuss It. Decide.
A photo without a location. A vendor overseas. A question that sends someone back to site. Bring the recorded condition, floor plan and capture date into the same conversation.
OpenSpace gives owners, contractors, consultants and RE/RTO teams a shared view of the work, so they can locate the issue, discuss the evidence and agree the next action.
Bring Everyone to the Same View
Review a location together from the office or the field. Explain the condition with imagery, plans and notes rather than another long email chain.
See How the Build Moves Forward
Compare recorded dates, communicate progress and focus the next site visit on the areas that need attention.
When to Use OpenSpace
The Right View.
At the Moment It Matters.
Use a dated, navigable site record when a phone photo or a verbal explanation leaves too much to guess. OpenSpace gives the discussion a place, a date and a shared view.
Discuss a Site Issue
Open the affected room, riser or plant area during a meeting. Compare the condition, point out the interface and give the next action a clear visual reference.
Bring an Overseas Vendor into the Room
A manufacturer, designer or Specialist can review the captured space with your team over a call. Check access, installation context and visible constraints before arranging another visit.
Update Owners and Stakeholders
Walk through the relevant areas remotely and compare dates. Explain progress, changes and open issues with the same evidence, even when decision-makers are working elsewhere.
Record Services Before Closure
Capture cable trays, trunking, conduits, pipe routes and connections before walls or ceilings conceal them. Return to the recorded view when a later question needs an answer.
Check Before and After
Compare the same place across dates to explain a completed installation, investigate a change or prepare a focused follow-up. Share a Field Note with the people who need to act.
Plan the Next Visit and Handover
Check the record before returning to site. Arrive with a shorter list of questions and preserve useful context for maintenance, later alterations and project close-out.
Before and After Capture
The Ceiling Closes.
The Useful Context Stays.
When someone asks where a cable or trunking run went, open the capture from before enclosure. A well-planned visual record can reduce repeated surveys, searching through photographs and unnecessary opening-up work.
Record the Cable and Trunking Routes
The open ceiling shows the tray, data cables and service routes. Capture the connections and labels while they are accessible, before the next trade covers them.
Revisit What the Finished Room Conceals
The same space now has a finished ceiling. Open the earlier dated capture to understand the visible route, then plan a focused inspection or alteration.
Use captures alongside required as-built drawings, surveys and inspection records. A visual record supports those documents; it does not automatically create a verified as-built drawing or locate work that was never captured.
OpenSpace Capture
Walk It Once.
Revisit It Together.
A supported 360° camera records the route as the site is walked. OpenSpace maps the imagery to project sheets, creating a location-based visual record that can be navigated on a computer or mobile device.
Use Split View to review two capture dates at the same location. See how visible work progressed, discuss an interface or refer back to conditions before finishes were installed.
- 360° walkthroughs and still images connected to plans
- Date-by-date comparison and remote visual review
- AI-assisted image enhancement, plus brightness, shadows and sharpening controls
- Fixed or rotating timelapse exports, remote review and plan-linked sharing
Use QuickCodes to scan into the correct project and sheet before capturing. Supported phone and tablet workflows add photographs, Field Notes and local 3D scans alongside the 360° record.
Reveal Mode brings a previous capture alongside the phone camera’s current view, helping the team reference earlier visible conditions while onsite.
Useful for progress meetings, QA/QC discussions, concealed-work records, fit-outs and refurbishment.

OpenSpace Air
See the Site from Above
Bring drone imagery into the same platform as ground-level captures. Review orthomosaic maps, elevation views, 3D meshes and point clouds, with date comparison and plan overlays. Compare up to four aerial dates, review terrain changes and export suitable aerial outputs for the wider project workflow.
For earthworks and site logistics, discuss the required distance, area or volume outputs and the capture/control method behind them. ACE can coordinate drone capture through flight partners.
OpenSpace BIM+
Bring the Model into the Discussion
Review the design alongside captured site conditions. Navigate aligned BIM and imagery, select model layers, save useful views and record the coordination items that need follow-up.
Supported workflows include drawing overlays, point-cloud comparison, saved views and mobile model access. Export suitable BIM Field Notes to BCF for coordination in connected tools. Bring M&E, installation and site teams into the same coordination discussion.
From Visual Record to Action
Capture the Context.
Move the Work Forward.
OpenSpace Field
Keep Issues Connected to the Place
Field Notes bring observations, photographs, comments and assigned actions into a location-based workflow. AI-assisted voice notes and location suggestions can reduce manual entry, and the Media Library’s AI search helps locate relevant project photographs.
Connect with supported Procore, Autodesk and Revizto workflows. Integrated Field Notes can continue offline and synchronise through the configured workflow when connectivity returns. Give the team a clearer record of the condition, the decision needed and the person following it up.
OpenSpace Track
Review Progress by Trade, Zone and Task
Combine site captures with the project schedule to review installed progress and quantities. OpenSpace Track uses AI processing with expert review, providing progress views and reporting across the agreed tracking scope.
Work with schedules from P6, Asta Powerproject, Microsoft Project or Excel. Use trade, floor and zone views, planned-versus-actual curves and project summaries to focus the discussion on installed work and the activities holding up the next stage. Track is scoped separately to the project or portfolio.
Keep the Information Moving
Sheet Sync can carry revised drawings from connected Procore or Autodesk projects into the visual record. Enterprise API options can connect capture, image and Field Note data with reporting or asset workflows. General-purpose OpenSpace AI agents remain in early access; availability and project-specific integrations are confirmed before commitment.
We will confirm the modules, integrations and project configuration in your proposal.
The Camera Is Part of the Workflow
Insta360 or Ricoh.
Choose for Your Site.
We supply both camera brands and help match the model, mount and capture settings to your project. The exact model matters, especially in dim interiors, plant rooms and changing site conditions.

ACE Capture Services
You Need the Record.
We Can Manage the Capture.
Some teams want to capture with their own staff. Others need a Specialist to plan and carry out the site walks. We support either approach, from the initial brief to repeat capture and review.
- Plan the coverage: building, floors, key areas, milestones and capture frequency.
- Prepare the project: sheets, compatible equipment, access and the agreed team workflow.
- Capture and check: planned 360° site walks, upload and review of coverage and clarity.
- Add aerial context: ACE-managed drone capture coordinated with flight partners.
- Support adoption: practical onboarding, review sessions and agreed reporting or handover outputs.
Practical Experience with Project Teams
Supporting JTC Workflows. Useful at Every Project Scale.
Our OpenSpace onboarding work includes JTC project teams working with contractors, consultants and RE/RTO users. We help people move from an account invitation to a usable capture and review workflow. The same practical approach supports a single-building refurbishment, an SME fit-out or a larger construction programme.
Selected ACE customers in property and construction. Services vary by organisation and project.
Owners and Major Project Teams
See Across Buildings and Disciplines
ACE supports OpenSpace onboarding for JTC project teams and their builders, contractors and RE/RTO users. Give owners, main contractors, consultants and RE/RTO teams a common visual reference for progress reviews, QA/QC and handover across floors, packages and project stages.
SMEs and Specialist Contractors
Make a Smaller Project Easier to Explain
Record an office fit-out, refurbishment or M&E installation before finishes close. Refer to the right place and date when explaining work, resolving an interface or handing over a package.
Operations and Building Teams
Carry the Record Beyond Construction
Preserve useful context for maintenance planning, later alterations and building discussions. Agree the areas, access, retention and outputs that matter to the people operating the site.
Built for a Working Project Team
Keep the Right People Connected.
Keep the Record Useful.
A visual record is valuable when the team can find it, share it appropriately and carry it into the next project stage.
Share the Relevant Views
Group selected captures in Shared Folders for the people who need them. Agree the audience and sharing permissions before distributing project material.
Manage Access and Adoption
Assign suitable project roles and plan your team setup. Organisation Administrators can review project, capture, Field Note and activity reports, with CSV export for further analysis.
Plan Changes and Handover
Keep sheets and models aligned with the project workflow. Use configured Sheet Sync for supported connected drawing workflows, or manage manual sheet changes with the project administrator and OpenSpace Support. Agree selected reports, timelapses or a suitable offline deliverable for project close-out.
Time Back for the Project Team
Less Chasing the Record.
More Time Moving the Work Forward.
Look beyond the time spent taking photographs. The opportunity includes fewer information-only return trips, faster photo administration and a clearer discussion with people who cannot be on site.

A Monthly Planning Example
What Could Your Team Recover Each Month?
Use this larger project-team example as a starting point, then replace the figures with your own.
Example: eight people each avoid one two-hour information-only return visit per week. The team also reduces photo administration by 16 hours per month, allowing eight hours for capture and review.
72Team Hours / Month
864Team Hours / Year
SGD 5,760Monthly Team Capacity Value
8 people × 4 visits × 2 hours + 16 administration hours − 8 capture/review hours = 72 team hours per month.
This is a planning calculation, not a guaranteed saving. Time released is team capacity, rather than an automatic cash saving. Keep required inspections and onsite attendance in your programme; licensing, equipment and capture services have their own costs.

Talk Through Your BuildingHelpful Answers
Before You Choose the Platform.
The PlatformCollapse
What is OpenSpace?Collapse
OpenSpace is a construction reality-capture and visual-intelligence platform. It connects captured site conditions with project locations and dates, helping teams review progress, coordinate work and maintain a useful visual record.
Which cameras can we use with OpenSpace?Collapse
We supply Insta360 and Ricoh cameras. OpenSpace currently lists Insta360 X6, X5, X4, X3 and Ricoh THETA Z1 among its supported cameras. Confirm the exact model, camera settings and mount before purchase. Not every model from these brands is compatible.
Can the team compare different construction dates?Collapse
Yes. Split View brings two captured dates together at the same location. Timelapse tools can also present change over recorded dates in a fixed or rotating view. Coverage and image quality depend on what was captured.
Can OpenSpace work with BIM and project issues?Collapse
OpenSpace BIM+ supports model-to-site comparison and coordination workflows. Field Notes and supported integrations connect observations with the relevant location and follow-up. We will review your model sources, existing systems and required modules.
What does OpenSpace Track do?Collapse
OpenSpace Track reports construction progress by the agreed trade, zone and task scope. AI processing is combined with expert review. The project schedule, tracking setup and capture coverage form part of the workflow.
Can We Use OpenSpace with an Overseas Vendor?Collapse
Yes. Give the relevant team appropriate project access, open the required location and date, and review it together during a call. The record can help a remote vendor understand visible conditions, prepare a recommendation and decide whether an onsite visit is needed.
Can Captures Show Cable and Trunking Routes after a Ceiling Is Closed?Collapse
A capture taken before closure can preserve visible cable trays, trunking and service connections for later review. Plan the route and add close-up photographs where labels matter. Keep required as-built drawings, surveys and inspection records; OpenSpace does not automatically generate a verified as-built record.
How Do We Work Out the Time Saved Each Month?Collapse
Count the information-only return visits and photo-administration work that the visual record can genuinely avoid, then subtract any extra capture and review time. Use the planning example on this page with your own figures. Keep mandatory inspections and required site attendance in the programme. The result represents potential team capacity, not a guaranteed cash saving.
Licensing and ACE ServicesCollapse
How much does OpenSpace cost?Collapse
An annual building licence starts at SGD 11,856 per building for a one-year capture period, equivalent to about SGD 988 per month. It is quoted and billed annually rather than as a monthly subscription. The final package depends on the building and project requirements. Your quotation confirms the software scope, equipment, capture services, applicable taxes and final fees.
Can ACE carry out captures for us?Collapse
Yes. We can plan and carry out 360° site captures, with coverage, visit frequency, access and deliverables agreed for the project. Drone work is managed by ACE through flight partners. Tell us whether you need a baseline, milestone captures or a recurring service.
What should we bring to a demonstration?Collapse
A floor plan, the building type, current project stage and a few questions your team needs to answer are a useful start. We can focus the demonstration on your likely workflow, including remote review, date comparison, BIM coordination or progress reporting.
Are cameras, training and every module included?Collapse
The proposal defines your package and the equipment and services required. We can review compatible cameras, practical onboarding, capture assistance and additional modules alongside the building licence. We do not assume the same package suits every project.
Capture, Measurement and Project RecordsCollapse
Can we combine 360° captures with drone records?Collapse
OpenSpace Air brings drone imagery and processed aerial outputs into the same platform. It can support maps, elevation views, meshes, point clouds and date comparison. The capture purpose, flight arrangements, control method and required outputs should be agreed before delivery.
Can OpenSpace provide accurate measurements?Collapse
Choose a measurement workflow for the required tolerance. Drone outputs, BIM-based tools, compatible phone/tablet LiDAR scans and dedicated laser-scan point clouds have different capture requirements. An ordinary 360° walk alone is not a measured laser scan. Discuss the accuracy and equipment requirements with us first.
Can the records help with concealed works and handover?Collapse
Captures made before work is covered can provide valuable visual context later. Plan important areas and milestones into the capture schedule. Selected views, reports, timelapses and suitable offline deliverables can support reporting and handover; agree formats and retention requirements in the project scope.
Can a smaller contractor or fit-out team use it?Collapse
Yes. A scoped capture workflow can help an SME record fit-out work, refurbishment or specialist installations. Start with the areas, decisions and milestones that need evidence, rather than assuming a large-project setup is necessary.
How is project access and sharing managed?Collapse
Use the appropriate project roles and sharing settings for the people who need access. We can help define the project workflow and onboarding scope. Current vendor security information is available from the OpenSpace Trust Center.
