Open Plan exist to help organisations collaborate and coordinate the delivery of large infrastructure ​projects  based off our first hand experience with the Christchurch and Kaikōura earthquakes. 

​We are the Programme Lead for the National Forward Works Viewer, having been part of the team to create it in the aftermath of the Canterbury earthquakes, and we're passionate about helping New Zealand build better by using the National Forward Works Viewer. 

​Open Plan. 
​It’s all in the name. 
We value openness; open communication; open mindedness; and open technology.
Using the power of purposeful collaboration together with data-driven spatial systems,
we help transform the experience of infrastructure delivery.
For everyone.
