LONDON, UK, Nov 13, 2026 – OpenSpace has announced that Gleeds will continue expanding Visualise, its client-facing site intelligence service built on OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform. Since its introduction in 2022, Visualise has grown from a 16-person pilot to more than 1,900 platform users across approximately 340 projects in 10 countries.
According to OpenSpace, Visualise contributed to approximately £2 million in client savings during 2025. The expansion forms part of Gleeds’ Service Innovation program, which focuses on digitizing service delivery and improving project performance.
Visualise provides project teams with access to site information for monitoring progress, managing costs and assessing risks. Using OpenSpace’s Field Notes function, teams have recorded more than 50,000 site observations, issues and actions against live project records.
Sheldon Atkinson, head of Visualise at Gleeds said: “Combining OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform with Gleeds’ trusted consultancy expertise, Visualise creates a scalable site intelligence service that gives clients and project teams a clear, time-stamped view of site progress, supporting better decisions, stronger evidence, and improved control of cost, program, and risk.”
“Gleeds selected OpenSpace for its leadership in Visual Intelligence, ease of adoption, proven performance across complex projects, and ability to scale globally across diverse client portfolios. Together, we’re helping to transform site observations into structured, actionable project intelligence”.
OpenSpace also reported efficiency improvements of up to 75% in progress reporting, change management, claims assessment and defects resolution. Gleeds users have logged nearly 10,000 hours of remote site viewing, reducing the need for physical site visits.
Tamas Borodi, managing director UK, Ireland, Nordics, and Eastern Europe at OpenSpace, said: “Gleeds exemplifies what it means to put technology at the heart of how you serve clients. From a 16-person pilot to more than 1,900 users across ten countries in four years, the growth speaks for itself – but what’s even more impressive is the discipline with which Gleeds has focused that growth on creating real, documented value for clients. The £2m in identified savings demonstrates the value of giving project teams access to a complete, reliable, and shared record of site reality, enabling better decisions, stronger risk management, and greater confidence throughout the project lifecycle.”
