Innovation has always been a cornerstone of I.P. Jones’ mindset. From deploying the latest tools on site to developing bespoke products, we’ve always looked for better ways to deliver for our clients.
In 2026, innovation doesn’t stop on site. It runs through our entire operation, from the office to the field. From 3D modelling and augmented reality to custom-built digital systems, here’s how IPJ is staying ahead.
XR: Bringing Projects to Life Before They’re Built
We’ve been using 3D modelling for years, but with the launch of our latest product, the I.P. Retainer, we’ve taken things further.
We now create interactive 3D walkthroughs that allow clients to explore the product in detail, helping them understand exactly how and why it works for their project.
But visualisation shouldn’t stop at a screen.
Using augmented reality (AR), we can place full-scale 3D models directly onto your site through your phone or tablet. This allows you to position the product, walk around it, and review it in real time alongside one of our experienced contracts managers.
No guesswork. No expensive bespoke renders. Just a clear, accurate view of the end result before work even begins.
The Latest Tools, Used Properly
We invest in high-end cameras and drone technology to capture detailed imagery from our sites across the country.
This content isn’t just for marketing. It forms part of our internal review process, allowing our team at our Northwest HQ to assess work remotely and maintain an additional layer of quality assurance.
It means better oversight, greater consistency, and confidence that every project meets our standards.
Bespoke Digital Tools Built In-House
At IPJ, we don’t rely solely on off-the-shelf software.
If the right tool doesn’t exist, we build it.
We’ve developed custom digital systems to track inventory in real time, manage stock efficiently, and support day-to-day operations across the business. These tools are designed specifically around how we work, not the other way around.
And we’re not stopping there.
We’re currently developing new digital solutions that will further streamline operations, improve visibility, and enhance the way we deliver projects.
