How Getjar Is Digitising Construction Quality Management with Visibuild

Getjar needed a system that kept pace with where the business was heading. Here’s how Visibuild became that system.

About Getjar

Getjar is a specialist contractor delivering groundworks, reinforced concrete and post-tensioned frames, piling, and temporary and permanent works design across London and the Home Counties. Part of the Masterson Holdings Group, they work across some of the most complex construction projects in the region.

Construction generates a lot of information. Inspections, permits, sign-offs, progress records, handover documents, and all of it needs to be captured, stored and accessible when it matters. For Getjar, the question wasn’t whether to go digital. It was finding the right platform to do it properly.

Owning Their Data

As Getjar’s special projects business has grown, so has their role on site. Taking on more work as an enabling contractor direct for the client meant they needed their own systems, ones they controlled, built around the way they work. When you’re leading a project, depending on platforms tied to someone else’s contract simply doesn’t work.

With Visibuild, all project records — inspections, sign-offs, progress data — live in one place and stay with Getjar permanently, regardless of personnel changes or how a project wraps up.

Built Around the Way They Work

Getjar looked at other platforms before choosing Visibuild. The larger systems were on the list, but they came with trade-offs: complex to set up, difficult to customise, and built for a one-size-fits-all approach that didn’t suit how Getjar operates.

Instead, Getjar worked with the Visibuild team to build out digital versions of their own processes, forms, workflows and checks that reflect how their sites actually run.

More Visibility, Less Friction

With everything in one platform, site managers can track multiple areas and subcontractors at the same time, without chasing updates or digging through separate tools.

“I think it’s made the whole system much smoother, much slicker and much more transparent.” Bradley Barham, Deputy Managing Director

More Than a QA Tool

Visibuild started as a quality assurance system for Getjar. It’s become a lot more than that. Working closely with the Visibuild team, they’ve expanded how they use the platform across day-to-day site operations:

• Hot works permits — fire watchers and site managers sign off instantly via the app, no paper required
• Temporary works tracking — all records and approvals in one place
• Site progress photos and daily task monitoring — a live view of what’s happening across the site
• O&M manual creation — data captured throughout the project means handover documentation is ready when they need it, not a last-minute scramble

Where It’s Heading

For Getjar, this isn’t just about solving today’s problems. It’s about being ready for where the industry is going.

“Quality management in the next few years I think, is all beginning to come with digital. Construction is changing; quality management has to change with it.”

They’re already there.
