Free checklist

Inspection and test plan (ITP)

An ITP is a table that answers four questions for every activity: what gets checked, against what criterion, by whom, and what evidence proves it happened. A row without a defined record is a row that will be argued about later.

Items: 11
Photos required: 8
Built for: General contractors

Who runs it

QA/QC manager, agreed with the owner's representative and the responsible subcontractor before work starts.

When in the schedule

Issued and approved before the activity begins; each row signed as the work proceeds.

The checklist

Every item, and the photo that proves it

The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as-is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.

Every ITP row defines

The activity, in the sequence it is performed
Discrete and observable — 'place slab reinforcement', not 'concrete works'.
No photo
The acceptance criterion, with a reference and a value
A number and a tolerance wherever one exists, plus the clause or drawing it comes from.
No photo
The verification method
Visual, measured, tested or certified — and the instrument if one is used.
No photo
Responsibility and point type
Who performs, who witnesses, who approves; marked as hold, witness, surveillance or review.
No photo
The record produced
Name the artefact: photo set, test report, survey, signed checklist. This is the column most plans skip.
1 photo

Hold and witness points

Hold points identified where work cannot proceed without release
Concealment points first: pre-pour, pre-cover, pre-backfill.
2 photos
Notice period agreed in writing
How much warning the witnessing party gets, and what happens if they do not attend.
No photo
Release recorded before the next activity starts
A dated signature and photo evidence, captured before the work is covered.
2 photos

Records and closeout

Each signed row traceable to the location it covers
Tie the row to the tag, grid reference, unit or zone — not just to the level.
1 photo
Test reports attached as they are issued
Attached to the row, not filed separately, so the ITP is complete on its own.
1 photo
Completed ITP issued as part of the turnover package
Every row signed, every record attached, no open hold points.
1 photo

What usually sends this back

The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work

Acceptance criteria written as "per specification" with no clause reference and no measurable value.
Hold points not respected because the notice period was never agreed.
Rows signed retrospectively at the end of the job, which makes the whole plan worthless as evidence.

Run it with the Photo Gate

A checklist nobody can submit half-finished

Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 8 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.

The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.
