Before vs After
OpenSpace captures what was built. Articulate catches issues before building starts. These tools operate at fundamentally different points in the construction lifecycle.
OpenSpace is reactive — documenting reality as construction progresses. It excels at providing visual proof of what has been installed, comparing as-built conditions against BIM models, and enabling remote site walkthroughs for stakeholders who cannot be on-site.
Articulate is proactive — preventing problems before they happen. By analyzing 2D drawings with AI, Articulate identifies coordination conflicts, code violations, and missing information while changes are still cheap to make on paper.
The best workflow uses both: Articulate to review drawings and catch issues before construction, then OpenSpace to verify the work matches the corrected drawings. Prevention and verification, working together.
