We were stoked to see our partners Suffolk and Shepherd featured in The New York Times recently (along with an OpenSpace camera on a hard hat!) in an in-depth look at how construction is evolving. The revolution is being captured!

The AEC industry may have a reputation for being slow to adopt technology, but it has seen a surge in tech investments in the past couple of years. According to McKinsey, about $50 billion was invested in AEC tech between 2020 and 2022, which is 85% higher than the previous three years.

While artificial intelligence doesn’t actually build high-rises, it’s playing a pivotal role in streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency on construction sites. Builders equipped with the latest technology are propelling the industry forward as they leverage drones, cameras, mobile apps, and robots to capture jobsites, addressing long-standing challenges of timelines, waste, and efficiency in the process. Reality capture is at the heart of this digital transformation in construction, and OpenSpace is dramatically reshaping how projects are managed and executed.
