The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Openspace requires specialized 360-degree camera hardware for optimal documentation workflow; Reconstruct pricing is quoted with nothing published, so a buyer cannot sanity-check a proposal against a list rate and has no way to know whether the price scales with projects, square footage or users until deep in the sales process.
  • They diverge on capability: Openspace covers 360 photo capture, Reconstruct covers Device-agnostic capture.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Openspace

  • Site documentationnot Reconstruct
  • Progress trackingnot Reconstruct
  • Quality controlnot Reconstruct
  • Dispute resolutionnot Reconstruct

Reconstruct

  • A general contractor whose monthly progress claim is regularly challenged by the owner, needing dated visual evidence tied to schedule activities rather than a folder of photosnot Openspace
  • An owner running projects in several countries who wants to cut executive site visits without accepting the contractor’s self-reported percentage completenot Openspace
  • A healthcare or data centre fit-out where above-ceiling services must be recorded before they are closed up, so later maintenance does not require demolitionnot Openspace
  • A delay or defect dispute where the decisive question is what was physically in place on a specific date and the only other evidence is contested emailnot Openspace

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Openspace

  • Requires specialized 360-degree camera hardware for optimal documentation workflow
  • Custom pricing model makes it difficult to evaluate costs upfront without contacting sales
  • Field solution is newly launched and may lack mature features compared to established competitors

Reconstruct

  • Pricing is quoted with nothing published, so a buyer cannot sanity-check a proposal against a list rate and has no way to know whether the price scales with projects, square footage or users until deep in the sales process.
  • The whole value depends on disciplined recurring capture, and site teams treat walking the building with a camera as a low-priority chore, so datasets go stale exactly when a dispute makes them valuable.
  • Photogrammetry from handheld footage is less accurate than laser scanning, so it is fine for progress and coordination but should not be relied on for tight as-built tolerances or prefabrication dimensions.
  • Schedule alignment requires a well-structured schedule with activities that map to physical locations; on projects where the programme is a coarse rolled-up bar chart the progress calculation is close to meaningless.
  • It is another platform alongside Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud rather than a replacement, so buyers add a subscription and a workflow rather than consolidating one, and the business case has to survive that.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Openspace: How quickly does OpenSpace document construction sites?

OpenSpace documents 25,000 sq. ft. in 10 minutes using 360-degree cameras. Photos are automatically pinned to floor plans, timestamped, and ready to view in 15 minutes.

Source
Reconstruct: How much does Reconstruct cost?

Not published. It is quoted per project or portfolio. Ask specifically whether the price scales by project count, square footage or capture volume, because those give very different totals.

Openspace: Does OpenSpace integrate with existing project management tools?

Yes. OpenSpace Field integrates with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud, allowing teams to create punch lists and observations in real-time without disrupting existing workflows.

Source
Reconstruct: Do we need a drone or a laser scanner?

No. It works from 360 cameras and even smartphone video. Drones and scanners improve exterior and accuracy-critical coverage.

Openspace: What camera equipment does OpenSpace require?

OpenSpace uses 360-degree cameras for site documentation. The platform automatically processes and maps captured images without requiring specialized technical skills from on-site staff.

Source
Reconstruct: How accurate is it?

Accurate enough for progress, coordination and dispute evidence. It is not a substitute for survey-grade laser scanning where tolerances matter.

Openspace: What AI features does OpenSpace provide for construction teams?

OpenSpace includes Spatial AI for automatic issue location tagging, AI Voice Notes for hands-free data capture, and an AI-powered media library for efficient image retrieval to accelerate project workflows.

Source
Reconstruct: Who owns the captured data at closeout?

The customer. Confirm the export format and retention terms in the contract before handover, because a reality archive is only useful if you can still open it in five years.

Reconstruct: Does it replace Procore?

No. It integrates with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud and adds the visual as-built layer.
