OpenSpace Hits 1,000 Data Center Projects as Builders Demand Real-Time Site Visibility
OpenSpace, a construction intelligence platform, has now been deployed on more than 1,000 data center projects globally, with 500 of those projects added in the past year alone. The company captures jobsite conditions using smartphones, 360° cameras, and drones, then maps that imagery to floor plans and building models to give teams a real-time record of construction progress.
Data center construction has become one of the industry's most complex undertakings. Projects compress multiple trades working in parallel across intricate systems and tight timelines. Yet most teams still lack visibility into what's actually being built on any given day.
"Traditional tools capture intent, but often fail to reflect reality, and on a data center build, that gap is where schedules slip and costs spiral," said Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO and co-founder of OpenSpace. "Teams need to see exactly what's happening on-site, in real time."
Measurable Results on Complex Builds
General contractors including Suffolk and Sweet Projects are using the platform on hyperscale AI infrastructure builds across the U.S., Middle East, Europe, U.K., Australia, Singapore, and Canada.
On completed projects, OpenSpace users reported 41% fewer claims, 5 times more quality issues caught early, and 10 times faster documentation. The platform paid for itself in an average of 5 weeks.
Sweet Projects deployed OpenSpace on a data center project at Longcross in the U.K. "That visibility helped us stay on schedule and, in one case, unequivocally defend our position and avoid what could have become a dispute," said Andrew Moss, Project Director at Sweet Projects.
A Broader Shift in Construction Data
OpenSpace operates across 131 countries and supports more than 100,000 projects. The platform has analyzed imagery covering over 69 billion square feet of construction.
As data center demand accelerates to support AI infrastructure, the cost of delays and miscommunication continues to rise. Real-time visibility into actual versus planned progress is becoming a standard expectation for managing risk on large-scale builds.
