📋 How to Create an Inspection Test Plan (ITP)
An Inspection Test Plan (ITP) is a quality assurance document used on construction projects to define inspections, test requirements, and hold points for specific activities. It ensures that the work is completed to standard — and signed off before continuing.
🔍 What Is the Purpose of an ITP?
An ITP is used to confirm that each stage of work has been inspected and meets the required specifications before moving on. It helps prevent costly rework, safety risks, and compliance issues.
🧱 What Should Be in an ITP?
- Activity description (e.g. concrete pour, excavation)
- Reference documents or specifications
- Inspection type (e.g. witness, hold, review)
- Acceptance criteria
- Who is responsible for the inspection or approval
- Sign-off sections for site representatives or clients
🧰 Who Uses ITPs?
ITPs are typically used by:
- Site Engineers
- Quality Assurance Managers
- Project Managers
- Contractors and subcontractors
✅ Why ITPs Matter
Whether you’re working on civil infrastructure, commercial builds, or local council projects — a clear, well-formatted ITP improves accountability, transparency, and quality outcomes.
