What Was Covered?

In this session, Heath walked through the end-to-end process of tracking offsite procurement in Visibuild, highlighting how real-time updates and structured quality checks can prevent delays, reduce defects, and ensure seamless integration between factory and site operations. Here’s what we covered:

1. Setting Up Your Project for Offsite Procurement Tracking

• Configuring a location tree to help with discoverability.
• Creating inspection templates for quality checks.
• Using tags to categorise elements efficiently.

2. Bulk Creating Inspections for Efficiency

• Using Visibuild’s bulk creation feature to apply inspection templates to relevant locations.
• Ensuring all offsite-manufactured elements (e.g., precast, steel, joinery, facade panels) have quality tracking in place before they reach the site.

3. Real-Time Tracking & Dashboard Insights

• Leveraging the inspection tracker to get an instant snapshot of offsite procurement progress.
• Utilising dashboards to filter and segment data for a clear view of what’s complete, in progress, or needs attention.
• Applying QR codes to track individual elements directly from the factory to site delivery.

4. Mobile App for Offsite Inspections

• Ensuring factory teams can complete quality checks offline, syncing data when back online.
• Creating ad hoc inspections during factory visits to log findings and photos directly in Visibuild.

5. Issue Tracking & Bulk Reporting

• Logging issues in real time to track defects and prevent installation delays.
• Bulk exporting inspections and reports to keep stakeholders updated and informed.

Why Is This Important?

• Real-time visibility into the status of offsite elements.
• Standardised quality checks to reduce defects.
• Seamless integration between manufacturing and on-site processes.
• Quick access to factory certifications and quality records at the time of delivery.
