What it doesVisual intelligence platform that captures jobsite imagery (photos, video, voice notes, 360 walks, drone flights) into one visual record, with plan and model comparison, issue and RFI resolution, BIM coordination, and AI workflows. Progress tracking is sold as OpenSpace Track, an add-on: vendor describes AI-powered tracking with humans in the loop, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, schedule support for P6, MS Project, Asta, and Excel, no BIM required (a model can be added), and progress reports 24-48 hours after capture; it says imagery is ready in 15 minutes on average and a 25,000 sq. ft. capture typically takes 10 minutes (vendor claims). Integrations named: Procore, Autodesk, Revizto. Vendor cites 77 billion square feet captured and 132 countries served (vendor claims).Construction intelligence platform that compares what's built on site to the plan, flags activities and deviations that could put the delivery date at risk, and adds trade/contractor management, workforce visibility, site documentation, and portfolio reporting by connecting BIM, schedule, site, and workforce data. Vendor says a local team helps set up on site and claims projects using Buildots reduce delays by up to 50% (vendor claim, not verified).
Who it's forOwners, general contractors, and trades.Executives, owners, project teams, and CM services (construction phase rather than precon).
Pricing (as publicly stated)Quote-based. Vendor says pricing is based on annual construction volume (ACV) and subscription tier (Core or Enterprise), not per user or per project; Enterprise adds SSO and API access; OpenSpace Track is an add-on to either tier, sold at the project or portfolio level and priced on project type and scope tracked (Track FAQ). Annual subscriptions can cover a single project, and a Core pilot can be requested. No prices listed. (Pricing page checked Oct 14, Track FAQ Oct 15, 2026.)Not publicly listed
