Why Deep Space?
Revolutionising Construction Intelligence
Construction projects today are bogged down by fragmented data, disconnected systems, and inefficient workflows. Instead of empowering progress, outdated tech creates roadblocks, wasting time and resources.
The Moment Everything Changed
by Luke Johnson - Founder, Deep Space
In my two decades working across massive infrastructure and design projects, I've witnessed an uncomfortable truth: our construction technology hasn't genuinely evolved. We've accumulated layers of complexity, convincing ourselves we're innovating when we're actually just creating more sophisticated ways of doing fundamentally broken processes.
The turning point for me wasn't a eureka moment in a boardroom. It was standing on a construction site, watching highly skilled professionals wrestle with fragmented data systems, custom scripts, and workflows that seemed designed to frustrate rather than facilitate.
The Real Cost of Technological Complexity
Let me be brutally direct: most construction technology solutions are solving the wrong problems. We've created an entire ecosystem of specialists who spend more time building technological workarounds than actually delivering projects.
Consider this scenario: A BIM manager spends three weeks developing a custom script to extract specific data from a 3D model. That script works beautifully - but only for this specific project. When the next project comes along, they start from scratch. This isn't innovation. This is technological masturbation.
Understanding the Fundamental Breakdown
Construction projects are inherently complex. We're bringing together multiple disciplines, extensive teams, and intricate design requirements. Our technology should simplify this complexity, not add another layer of abstraction.
The Three Critical Failures in Current Construction Technology
Why Deep Space is Fundamentally Different
Our Core Design Philosophy
We believe technology should simplify rather than complicate. It should seamlessly integrate into workflows, ensuring that every element works harmoniously rather than standing alone. Features, while important, are only as valuable as the connections they foster. Integration is essential.
Our philosophy places greater value on predictive insights than on historical reporting. The ability to foresee risks and opportunities empowers teams to stay ahead, making proactive decisions rather than reactive responses. Importantly, while technology can elevate operations, it should never seek to replace human expertise. Instead, it should amplify it, providing professionals with the tools they need to excel in their craft.
We didn't set out to build another software platform. We set out to reimagine how construction professionals interact with technology and data.
The Technical Challenge We Solved
Imagine a platform that transforms this philosophy into action. A system that seamlessly integrates data across the design, construction, and operational phases, providing a cohesive flow of information. Envision artificial intelligence at the core, anticipating project risks before they arise and guiding teams toward informed decisions.
This platform is not just about delivering insights; it is about creating a single source of truth, adaptable to the unique needs of every project. By reducing the burden of technological overhead, it empowers teams with greater project intelligence, enabling them to focus on what matters most.
What we have built is not just software; it is a reimagination of how construction data can work, uniting people, processes, and technology into a powerful, intuitive ecosystem.
Why Does This Matter?
I've spent my career watching brilliant professionals frustrated by technological barriers. Engineers, designers, project managers, BIM managers with extraordinary skills, spending more time fighting systems than creating remarkable built environments. Deep Space is our commitment to changing that narrative. We're not selling a product. We're offering a new approach to project delivery.
The Human Element
Technology is powerful, but people drive true innovation. Deep Space is designed for professionals who:
- Think strategically
- Demand more from their tools
- Want to push the boundaries of what's possible
Our Invitation to the Industry
Stop building custom solutions. Start delivering extraordinary projects. We're not just another software platform. We're a movement towards more intelligent, more connected construction technology.
Are You Ready to Transform Your Approach?
Stop fighting outdated systems. Start delivering extraordinary projects with Deep Space.
The Deep Space story
Deep Space is a product of Virtual Built Technology, and is the culmination of years of work consulting and developing tools for our clients in the AECO industries.
We wanted to build a tool that could manage the data designers, constructors and owners are creating, editing and delivering every day. A platform to visualise and connect data that's beyond simple 2D and 3D.
