Case Study: Mace achieves remote site access and better project visibility with OpenSpace

MACE delivers UCL Marshgate with OpenSpace in a 45-minute rollout

Mace, a global construction and consultancy firm, faced a significant challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns prevented their client and team members from regularly accessing the UCL East construction site. They needed a rapid, efficient solution for remote site access and progress tracking on the large-scale project. To solve this, they implemented the OpenSpace reality capture solution.

Using OpenSpace Capture, Mace's team efficiently documented the entire site with 360-degree imagery automatically mapped to floor plans. The solution provided a "visual time machine" of the project, enabled remote progress reviews, and allowed for comparisons between the BIM model and as-built conditions via BIM Compare. This resulted in faster documentation, reduced site travel, improved stakeholder communication, and reduced risk by creating a permanent visual record for future reference and compliance. OpenSpace delivered immediate remote access and became an invaluable long-term tool for the project.
