OpenPoint – Construction Digital Twin
OpenPoint is a Swedish platform that collects and coordinates the entire construction process by giving every stakeholder a shared digital twin of the site. The product lets owners, designers, contractors, partners, suppliers, and tenants work against the same captured reality — detailed plans, building models, and construction documents — without having to physically travel to and from the property. Because OpenPoint handles point clouds and BIM directly in a standard web browser, it makes technology that traditionally required specialist software accessible to anyone with a project link. FusionWorks built the OpenPoint web application that delivers this experience.
A Shared Digital Twin for Every Stakeholder
The platform’s central idea is that a construction project should have one shared, navigable representation of itself that every stakeholder can reach. Users load the environment models they need — detailed plan volumes, building models, construction documents — and use the resulting digital twin to coordinate decisions. Additionally, the platform is designed to work across all project phases, from planning and permitting through construction and into building management. This is what allows OpenPoint to remain useful across the whole lifecycle rather than just one stage.
BIM and Point Clouds in the Browser
OpenPoint’s technical bet is that BIM, CAD, and point-cloud workflows should not require specialist desktop software to be useful. The platform handles these formats directly in a standard web browser, which removes the barrier that has historically kept these tools out of reach for smaller firms, municipalities, and non-technical project participants. Furthermore, the experience is designed to be usable without specialized training — launch, open the project, and start working. This accessibility is what differentiates OpenPoint in a market full of heavyweight, specialist tools.
Coordination Across the Construction Ecosystem
Construction projects are coordinated across a sprawling cast of participants, and most of the friction in a project comes from gaps between them. OpenPoint addresses this by being explicitly multi-stakeholder: everyone works against the same depicted reality, with detailed plans and documents in one place. Meanwhile, municipalities and building owners can manage plans and permits directly on the web, supporting the unbroken information flow that modern construction projects require. This is what turns OpenPoint into infrastructure rather than yet another tool in the stack.
Development and Implementation
FusionWorks built the OpenPoint web platform on Vue.js, focused on the rendering, coordination, and user-interface work that turns dense construction data into something a non-specialist can actually use in a browser. Our team worked through the integration of model formats, the performance constraints of large point clouds and BIM models in the browser, and the multi-stakeholder access flows that the product depends on. We handled the day-to-day product engineering as the platform evolved across project phases. Furthermore, our long-running involvement supported OpenPoint as it grew its user base across the Swedish construction industry.
OpenPoint reflects a confident take on what construction software should look like in 2026 — open, browser-native, and built so that the digital twin of a project is a shared asset rather than a specialist’s tool.
