OpenSpace also works with the company’s BIM model, giving easy comparisons “as you rotate the actual image captured, your digital model rotates as well.”įrench adds: “If you’re snagging on site, perhaps you’ve come across something that needs to change and you can actually mark that up in the model and the engineers and design teams can adjust the design accordingly. OpenSpace integrates well with NG Bailey’s bid software and the firm intends to use it for pre-scans of sites when tendering for jobs. NG Bailey director of information and communications technology Andy French explains that when he first viewed OpenSpace, “I saw a tool where largely any barriers to use were removed, because it’s just so easy to adopt. “It allows collaboration at distance, reducing travelling time in line with the company’s carbon reduction policy” NG Bailey staff have taken to OpenSpace with ease and minimal training, and the technology has become an essential component of the firm’s digital toolkit. The time machine element is that current views can be quickly compared with past ones to see a project’s progress. OpenSpace uses artificial intelligence, which it describes as similar to “the perception and navigation systems used in Goggle Street View” to capture what happens on site. Staff now use OpenSpace to take 360-degree images of sites as they walk round them, and can rapidly share these with colleagues and clients to check progress. T he idea of carrying a time machine with a camera on one’s head might sound a little like science fiction, but it’s become a normal part of work at construction and engineering firm NG Bailey. ![]()
