We’ve shipped an improvement for teams using single template trackers, making it easier to review structured data and share it outside the platform. You can now switch to a register view in the single template trackers for
all
Visi types.
Screenshot 2026-08-13 at 2
The Register View displays requirements and responses for each Visi, making it easier to review structured checklists such as:
  • Test results (e.g. concrete strength)
  • Commissioning records (e.g. electrical circuits)
  • Detailed non-conformance reports
This provides a clearer, register-style layout when you need to scan across responses rather than open each item individually. You can also export the data directly into Excel format for reporting.
To access the Register view, simply navigate to the single template tracker page, open your desired template tracker and click the "Register" toggle in the top right.

Digital signatures have landed in Visibuild. Subcontractors and reviewers on Visis can now put their name to work with an actual signature — captured on the spot, tied to the version of the work signed, and visible in the activity feed and PDF exports.
There are two main ways digital signatures can be used; both are available on the web app and mobile.
1. Signatures as a requirement type
Add a signature requirement to any template, right alongside photo evidence, short answer fields and checkboxes. Instead of ticking a box, users can draw their signature and it's logged with their name and timestamp. Great for the checks you need to know were actually done properly, not just clicked through.

2. Signatures on Visi reviews
Reviews just got more official. Wherever a reviewer is specified on a Visi — in a template or added ad hoc — you can now toggle on "require signature." The reviewer signs as part of approving, so sign-off is unambiguous and traceable to them. Signatures flow through to the activity feed and PDF exports for a proper audit trail.

Every location page now has an Overview tab — a live picture of what's going on in that part of the site, instead of a list you have to filter first.
92_1x_shots_so
What's new
Live activity feed — Visis raised, closed, commented on and signed off stream in as they happen on site. No refresh needed.
Filters — narrow the feed by event type, company or discipline.
Top-level stats — overdue items and skipped hold points, front and centre. Click any stat to drill into the list behind it.
Documents and attachments — see and add everything linked to this location without leaving the page.
Ticket events — if your company has the Tickets module, ticket activity shows up in the feed too.
Why it matters
Answering "what's actually happening on Level 3?" used to mean landing on a list of Visis and piecing the story together yourself. Now the location page tells you — and keeps telling you while you're on it.

Reports that build themselves
Another night pivoting ticket exports in a spreadsheet? Three pre-built reports are now in Visibuild, ready to open and send.
What's New
Three reports, each answering a question PC teams and construction managers ask every month.
Project and team performance
shows where every project sits, what's stalled, and how the team is keeping pace.
Common trends and root cause
pulls back from individual tickets to show which defects keep repeating and what's driving them.
Partner performance
ranks trades on completion rate, days to close, and rework cost.
No configuration. Open one, read it, export a PDF that's ready to send.
Why it Matters
The data has always been there, just locked inside thousands of tickets. Building the monthly report meant a CSV export, pivot tables, and a few hours of formatting to produce something that still didn't answer what to do differently next month. Now it takes minutes, and your construction manager gets a picture they can act on without logging in.
How to Use It
1️⃣ Navigate to Company > Reports and pick one of the three
2️⃣ Set your date range, project, region, or company filters at the top
3️⃣ Read the previous-period change on each widget to see if things are improving
4️⃣ Hit Export and it'll download to your device

Site photos can now be stamped with the time, GPS location and the name of the person who took them.

What's new
There's a new button in the Visibuild camera labelled
embed metadata
– Switch it on and every photo you take gets an overlay applied straight after capture:
⬆️ Top of the photo: GPS coordinates, the direction the camera was pointing, and location accuracy
⬇️ Bottom of the photo — the Visibuild logo, your name, and the date and time of capture

The data lives on the image, meaning the stamp travels with the photo everywhere it goes - into exports, reports, and anything you send on to a client or consultant.
Why it matters
Plenty of teams were taking photos in a separate timestamp app, marking them up, then attaching them to a Visi, now it's one capture in Visibuild with strengthened quality data.
📱 Note: your device needs location permission granted for the coordinates and direction to appear.
You can now create more than one Visi at a time to the same location, straight from the New Visi flow.
What's new
When creating Visis from a template, you can now set how many to create at each location. Creating 40 panel inspections on Level 3? Set the count to 40 and go. Works across one or many locations at once (up to 50 Visis per location).
image
Each Visi is auto-numbered off the template name e.g. "Panel Inspection (1)", "(2)", "(3)"... so there is never a wall of identical titles.
Want more specific names? Rename any of them on the confirmation screen before they're created.

This feature is available when creating Visis from a template in the Visibuild web app.
Why it matters
Teams inspecting repetitive building elements like panels, piles, and doors used to create these one at a time, then go back and rename each one individually. That's hours of setup for a large project. Now it's one flow: pick the template, set your counts, tweak the names you care about, and you're done.
Here's the full guide on bulk creating Visis from a template.
The five core Visi types — Inspections, Tasks, Issues, Defects, and Non-Conformances — now support subtypes, so your team can categorise work the way your projects actually run. And if the built-in options don't cover it, you can create your own.
What's new
To get teams moving quickly, we've added out-of-the-box platform subtypes for the most widely used industry categories:
  • Inspections
    : ITP (Inspection Test Plan), ITC (Inspection Test Checklist), Audit, and Site walk
  • Issues
    : Observation and Corrective action, alongside the existing Incomplete works and Incorrect works
Need something more specific to your business or project? Create custom subtypes in Company Setup and they'll flow to every project your company is part of — with the option for Project Admins to disable them on projects where they're not needed.
company setup
Once subtypes are set up, you can set a default subtype on templates so every Visi created from them is categorised automatically, apply them when creating Visis, or add and change them later by editing.
selecttype
They flow through to filters, exports, and reporting just like any other field.
filters
Issue subtypes also support approval workflows, so you can route any categorised issue to the right reviewers automatically — not just Incomplete Works and Incorrect Works.

Why it matters
Until now, the five core Visi types were the only way to categorise work — which meant teams either squeezed everything into the closest fit or lost the distinction entirely. Subtypes let you reflect how your team actually works, and open the door to tracking work in Visibuild that didn't fit before.
This feature is available to Company Admins of any company in Visibuild — project owners and project partners alike.
We'd love to see what you build with it — and as always, please share your feedback to help us improve.
Creating Visis on site should be fast — no matter what you're creating. Following the new defect experience, this release rebuilds the create flow for Inspections, Issues, Tasks, and Non-conformances from the ground up on mobile, and it's now live for all projects.

Get the latest app version
This update requires the latest version of the app (6.8.2)
Multi-choice requirements can now accept more than one answer. When a single option isn't the whole story, you no longer have to choose.
image
What's new
When you build a multi-choice requirement — in a template or directly on a Visi — you can now set whether it's answered with one option or many. Single-choice requirements show "Select one"; multi-select shows "Select one or many".
Out on site, people tick every option that applies instead of being boxed into a single answer. It works the same on web and mobile, and selected answers flow through to your CSV and PDF exports and the API like any other requirement data.
Why it matters
Until now a multi-choice requirement only captured one answer. When more than one applied, people picked the closest option and lost the rest, left the field blank, or built a duplicate requirement for each answer. Now a single requirement holds the full picture, and your reporting reflects what actually happened on site.
📱 Update to the latest version of the mobile app to fulfil multi-select requirements on site (6.7.0).

Disputed defects finally have a home 🤝
Defects now have a dedicated
In dispute
status, sitting alongside Open, In Review, Closed and Can't Close — so contested items get their own bucket instead of sitting in your open list or hiding in "can't close".
What's new
When an assignee disagrees with a defect — wrong trade, out of scope, not their job — they can mark it
In dispute
from web or mobile, with an optional comment explaining why. The people you nominate get an email, so the right person can step in early instead of chasing the disagreement over phone and text with no record.
The defect's creator or a reviewer then resolves it: send it back to Open, or close it as
Closed (disputed)
. The full history stays in the activity feed, and disputed defects show up across your list, filters, dashboards and exports.
Why it matters
Until now, a disputed defect either sat in Open — inflating the count your clients see — or got dumped in Can't Close, where it was impossible to tell apart from a genuine blocker. Now there's one clear, reportable way to handle a disagreement, and your defect numbers reflect what's actually contested.
Setting it up
Disputes are configured per defect round, where you choose who gets notified and whether a comment is required to raise one.
Note: "Require comment" is off by default
