How It Works

From site to safety record. Without changing how you work.

GTE captures building safety evidence where the work happens, checks it against the regulations, and locks it into a permanent record every stakeholder can trust — for the life of the building.

The Gap

Where the golden thread breaks

  • Evidence goes missing

    Proof of compliant work gets lost, delayed or weakened between installation on site and documentation in the office.

  • “Compliant” without the why

    Surveys and reports declare compliance without showing the evidence or the regulation behind it — leaving owners carrying the risk.

  • Records that can be rewritten

    Most systems allow safety records to be edited, overwritten or backdated long after the event. A record that can change can't be trusted.

The Process

Five steps. One permanent record.

Every piece of evidence follows the same path — from the asset on site to a verified, unalterable entry in the golden thread.

01

Capture

Field teams record evidence at the asset, at the moment the work is done — or keep using the site tools they already rely on.

  • QR code scanning, photos, voice and notes
  • Offline-first mobile app for low-connectivity sites
  • Cryptographic verification at the point of capture
02

Validate

AI-assisted checks review every submission in real time against the regulations that apply to the building. Where evidence falls short, GTE explains why and guides the user to fix it — before anything is finalised.

  • Defects checked against building regulations
  • Clear reasons, not just a fail
  • Gaps closed on site, not months later
03

Sign off

Competent people make the call. Every approval is digitally signed and linked to the verified Skills, Knowledge, Experience and Behaviours (SKEB) of the person responsible.

  • Digitally signed approvals
  • Competence recorded alongside the work
  • Clear accountability for every decision
04

Record

Approved evidence is written to the GTE Ledger — an encrypted, Git-based record of every safety activity. Once recorded, it cannot be altered, deleted or backdated.

  • Permanent, verifiable history
  • Every change and decision traceable
  • A single source of truth for every stakeholder
05

Act and report

Risk heat maps show where problems sit across a portfolio, what's overdue and who's responsible. Field data becomes regulation-referenced compliance reports in minutes, not days.

  • Portfolio-wide risk heat maps and dashboards
  • Overdue actions surfaced and tracked to close
  • Detailed compliance reports generated automatically

Integration

Start and finish in Fieldwire.

Site teams shouldn't have to change how they work to suit the technology. GTE integrates with Fieldwire by Hilti, so the workflow your teams already know becomes the front door to the golden thread.

See all integrations
  1. Run your usual Fieldwire report

    Nothing new to learn. The site team works exactly as they do today.

  2. GTE builds the compliance report

    Report data is transformed into a detailed compliance document, such as a condition or compartmentation survey.

  3. It comes back to Fieldwire

    The finished report returns where a Fieldwire report would — and the data stays in the GTE Ledger permanently.

Our Approach

Technology supports judgement. It doesn't replace it.

GTE automates the checking, structuring and reporting — but every decision that matters is made and signed by a competent person. The result is a stronger foundation for professional judgement, and proof that it was acted on.

Building Lifecycle

One record for the life of the building

  1. Design & construction

    Evidence is captured and checked as work is installed, ready for building control and regulator scrutiny.

  2. Handover

    A complete, verified as-built record passes to the owner — not a box of disconnected PDFs.

  3. Occupation

    Fire risk assessment actions, inspections and maintenance are tracked continuously, with nothing lost between teams.

  4. Change of ownership

    The full safety history transfers with the building, so new owners know exactly what they're taking on.
