Capital Project Oversight Made Simple: Introducing ONSight for Owners

Written by Josh Girvin, CEO | Jul 30, 2025 1:45:00 PM

Today’s complex project environment places heavy demands on Owners to complete capital projects on time and within budget using limited resources. Yet many are still stuck navigating fragmented data, outdated reports, and limited visibility across their portfolios. Even as Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) gains widespread adoption among contractors, Owner organizations often lack the tools to confidently verify its implementation or track real-time performance. 

That ends now. 

We’re excited to introduce ONSight: a powerful, purpose-built solution from O3 that gives Owners the oversight, insight, and confidence they need to ensure project success, without requiring Owner organizations to implement a sophisticated AWP execution tool or complex tech stack overhaul.

Why Traditional Project Oversight Tools Fail Owner Teams

Owner organizations face mounting challenges when it comes to managing large capital projects. Traditional project management tools were designed for execution teams, not for Owner-led oversight across portfolios. This creates several critical issues:

  • Data is fragmented across tools and teams
  • Visibility is limited, especially in early stages
  • Reporting is often manual, reactive, and outdated
  • Delays and misalignment go unnoticed until they become expensive problems

Meanwhile, the stakes are higher than ever. Owners are expected to be in full control of what’s happening at all levels, from the boardroom to the construction site. They want real-time, field-level information that enables deep analysis, confident forecasting, and timely, data-driven decisions.

Owners also play a critical role in driving modern project delivery practices. They are championing industry-wide adoption of AWP, digital project management, and agile workflows. They expect contractors and partners to rigorously follow these best practices and need the ability to verify alignment in real time. 

However, fully deploying robust systems that support this level of oversight can be a burden, and many Owner teams simply don’t have the internal resources to take on a large transformation effort. 

What Owners need is a purpose-built, flexible solution that empowers them to: 

  • Have a single source of truth through dynamic dashboards and real-time, cross-project reporting 
  • Conduct robust, cross-team collaboration 
  • Seamlessly integrate with existing tools, allowing contractors to use their tool-of-choice for project delivery 
  • Obtain live oversight into, and real-time progress of, contractor and subcontractor activities 

Meet ONSight: Fast. Focused. Owner-First. 

ONSight is a streamlined oversight solution tailored specifically for Owners. It enables teams to gain visibility into project execution without dictating tools to contractors or standing up full AWP execution systems themselves. 

It’s designed for rapid deployment, intuitive use, and real-time collaboration, giving Owners a single source of truth across all projects and portfolios.
