OpenSpace Launches Comprehensive Progress Tracking Solution for Construction
OpenSpace's reality capture platform gets a boost with Disperse's milestone-based progress tracking, empowering project teams to detect issues earlier and drive greater efficiency SAN FRANCISCO, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OpenSpace, the global leader in 360° reality capture and AI-powered analytics, today announced the launch of OpenSpace Progress Tracking. Powered by Disperse, the new milestone-based solution helps construction teams quickly capture visual jobsite data and generate actionable insights, enabling earlier detection of productivity issues and cost overruns. OpenSpace Progress Tracking can be used to validate work-in-place for billing, identify schedule risks early by comparing actual progress to planned milestones, coordinate more effectively across trades, and deliver clear, visual progress summaries to all stakeholders. As a result, teams can make more informed decisions and better manage project schedules and budgets. 'OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse's advanced analytics, allows us to spot productivity issues much earlier in the project — sometimes as early as 10% completion — giving us critical time to address them before they escalate,' said Vito Antuofermo, Vice President, Commodore Construction. 'In the past, we might not have realized significant cost overruns until halfway through a project, often too late to fully correct course. This early visibility helps us prevent costly delays and improve overall project outcomes.' Disperse, a leader in construction progress tracking, specializes in milestone-based progress tracking and reporting. Disperse's platform combines jobsite imagery with expert human verification to provide an objective, trusted, and detailed view of what's been built — and what hasn't. OpenSpace Progress Tracking marks a meaningful evolution of the company's previous approach to progress tracking. By pairing OpenSpace's AI-powered reality capture platform with Disperse's analysis, the solution provides highly accurate, flexible, and scalable progress tracking – with no additional resources from the project team needed. Key features of OpenSpace Progress Tracking include: Reliable, rapid capture: 25,000 sq. ft. in just 10 minutes; image data viewable in around 15 minutes Automated mapping: Images linked to plans and optional BIM models Comprehensive quantification of work-in-place: Over 700 visual components across 200+ program tasks Customizable insights: Structured reports delivered to meet specific project needs, such as by phase, trade, or entire project Highly flexible: Adaptable for individual project requirements BIM-aware, not BIM-dependent: Functional with or without BIM models Integrated with project scheduling software: Supports P6, Asta, Microsoft Project, Excel schedules, and more 'OpenSpace Progress Tracking offers a smarter, more advanced alternative to our previous progress tracking solutions. We're now combining the speed and scale of our reality capture platform with Disperse's milestone-based insights to unlock a new level of clarity on the construction site,' said Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO and co-founder of OpenSpace. 'Project teams gain reliable, up-to-date information they can act on, helping them spot and resolve issues sooner, reduce costly rework, and keep construction moving efficiently. It's about turning complex data into clear guidance so teams can stay ahead.' OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse, is available now as an add-on to OpenSpace Capture subscription licenses. Pricing is based on the scope of tracking required and the number of projects.

Larkspur residents rally at Sandstone Open Space to protest camping proposal
LARKSPUR, Colo. (KDVR) — The more than 2,000-acre open space in Larkspur has been in the middle of a heated debate for months, ever since Douglas County proposed a pilot camping program that may include five to ten minimalist camping sites at Sandstone Ranch Open Space following the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace. A minimalist camping site is when people camp with no plumbing or utilities and must pack everything in and out. The county said they made this proposal after some of the community came to them, asking for more access to the open space. Family of 10-year-old killed by distracted driver hope for reform to laws for more accountability Former county commissioner, Lora Thomas, said that news caught her off guard. 'Abe Laden, one of the three county commissioners, said, 'I heard from some people over the weekend that we need to have camping on our open space.' So, after I picked my jaw up off of the conference table and said, 'Who are these people? This is ridiculous',' she said. 'I just think it's a ridiculous idea from the very beginning.' She said they have concerns including fire. Douglas County said no fires will be allowed in the dispersed camping sites, but the fire chief at the Larkspur Fire Protection District said this wouldn't completely eliminate the issue. 'Safety concerns include that there's no water supply out here for us to use in the event of a fire, there's very limited access to the area. There's more walking trailed than anything else so if something was to happen out here it would be very hard for us to get to patients and to the incident itself,' said Fire Chief Timothy McCawley. Then, these is a cost involved. Open Space has requested an additional ranger and camp host position to be funded if the proposal goes through. Douglas County provided an initial estimate for the pilot sites at Sandstone as $379,400 for the first year. Thomas said she did not think this was the best use of taxpayer dollars. 'If you think about how popular Chatfield or Cherry Creek are, those operate in the red. So, why would we be spending money for people to camp on our open space when it's going to cost taxpayers money?' Thomas said. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library delivers two millionth free book in Colorado FOX31 has reached out to Douglas County for comment and they said it is still too early in the proposal, but they appreciate community comments.

Letter: Jeremy Seabrook obituary
One of the more disappointing episodes in my career in the BBC Community Programme Unit involved Jeremy Seabrook, whom I greatly admired. In 1987, in the wake of Margaret Thatcher's comment that she had 'a big job' to do in the inner cities, we had invited Jeremy to explore the CPU archive of 'public access' programmes relating to urban life, based on the personal view documentaries Open Door and Open Space for BBC Two. We would select clips and film Jeremy talking to the people who had made the original films, to create an Open Space 'special' called Inner City Blues. Jeremy was enthusiastic. All was going well until I got a phone call from the editor of CPU when setting up filming with Jeremy in Glasgow. At that time the BBC all too often ran in fear of upsetting Thatcher, so I was shocked but not surprised to hear the instruction to drop him from the programme, because he was 'too left wing'. I protested, but it was no good, senior management was not for turning. We were at least able to complete the Open Space special with some clips. There was no presenter but one or two explanatory captions were based on Jeremy's ideas, but no one knew that.
