What is an ITP in construction?

An Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is a quality assurance document used in construction to define inspection activities, hold points, and witness points at key stages of work. It specifies what needs to be checked, by whom, and records the results for audit and compliance purposes.

How much does HoldPoint QA cost?

HoldPoint QA charges $45 AUD per active project per month for 1–5 projects, and $35 per project per month for 6 or more active projects. There are no per-seat fees or per-document charges. Projects start as draft (free) until the first document is added.

Can external clients sign ITPs without an account?

Yes. HoldPoint QA sends a secure sign-off link via email. External signatories — clients, principal's representatives, or engineers — can review the full ITP checklist and sign digitally without needing an account or app.

Does HoldPoint generate ITP PDFs automatically?

Yes. When an ITP is approved, HoldPoint automatically generates a branded PDF containing all checklist results, inspection notes, photos, and signatures. PDFs are regenerated if any information changes.

Should I replace Procore with HoldPoint?

Not if Procore is mandated by your head contractor or you need its full suite — schedule, RFIs, drawings, finance. HoldPoint is for the ITP slice only. Many subcontractors keep Procore for the head-contractor-facing project management work and run HoldPoint underneath for their own internal ITP register, especially on multi-level or lot-based jobs where bulk apply and area sign-off save real time.

Why is HoldPoint cheaper than Procore?

Procore is a horizontal platform priced on annual construction volume. HoldPoint is a focused vertical product priced per active project. The two pricing models are aimed at different buyers — Procore at general contractors managing portfolios, HoldPoint at trades and civil contractors who own a few projects at a time.

Can HoldPoint output documents that Procore can ingest?

Yes. Every approved ITP, Site Instruction, or sign-off pack in HoldPoint generates a branded PDF that you can attach into Procore's document control or quality module. Many subcontractors run HoldPoint as the system of record for ITPs and push the final PDFs into Procore for the head contractor.

Does HoldPoint have RFIs and submittals?

No. HoldPoint deliberately focuses on the three documents that drive subcontractor sign-off — ITPs, Site Instructions, and Labour Dockets. RFIs, submittals, drawings, and finance are out of scope and likely always will be.

HoldPoint vs Procore

Procore is the broad construction management suite for general contractors. HoldPoint is the focused ITP product subcontractors and civil teams reach for when Procore's quality module is too generic — or when they aren't on a Procore-mandated project.

The short answer

Procore is a wide construction management suite. HoldPoint is a narrow ITP product. If a tier-1 builder mandates Procore, you'll use it for project management — and many subcontractors still run HoldPoint alongside for the ITP register itself because the workflow is faster and cheaper.

Pick HoldPoint when

Subcontractors and civil contractors who want their ITPs structured by area, bulk-applied across levels or lots, and signed off in packs — without paying for project management, finance, and bid modules they don't use.

Pick Procore when

General contractors and tier-1 builders standardising on a single platform for budget, schedule, RFIs, drawings, finance, safety, and quality across an entire portfolio.

What each tool actually is.

A factual side-by-side. No marketing fluff — just the publicly known positioning of both products.

HoldPoint QA

Construction ITP software, vertical and focused.

Built around the three documents subcontractors and civil contractors actually deliver — Inspection and Test Plans, Site Instructions, and Labour Dockets. Hold points and witness points are first-class concepts the product enforces. Areas turn one ITP into many area-specific copies in a single bulk action. Sign-off packs collapse a level or a lot into a single email and one combined audit-ready PDF.

ITP-only focus means hold points, witness points, and sign-off packs are the product surface.
Areas — bulk apply one ITP across every level, lot, stage, or chainage in seconds.
Public, transparent per-project pricing in AUD; no annual volume calculations.
Australian construction terminology and standards (AS 3600, AS 4100, AS/NZS 3000) baked into templates.
Free AI ITP generator and a public template library — usable before you sign up.
