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. 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.

Do I need an ITP for demolition work in Australia?

If your contract, principal contractor, or client QA manual calls for an Inspection and Test Plan, you need one, whether or not your scope is "construction" in the everyday sense. On commercial and government projects, demolition work is typically assessed against AS 2601: Demolition, WHS demolition code and EPA waste requirements, and the ITP is how you show each requirement was actually verified.

What hold points should a Demolition ITP include?

At minimum: hazmat clearance before demolition, structural sequence approval and final site clearance sign-off. Hold points belong wherever a defect would be concealed by following work or expensive to put right, so work stops until the nominated party signs. Your specification or the principal's QA plan may add more.

Which standards apply to demolition inspections?

The references most demolition ITPs cite are AS 2601: Demolition, WHS demolition code and EPA waste requirements. Always check the project specification as well, it frequently calls up extra requirements, or a specific edition, on top of the standard.

Can I use an AI-generated demolition ITP on a real project?

Yes, as a starting point. Generate the demolition ITP for your scope, then review it against your contract and specification, especially the hold points, like hazmat clearance before demolition. Run it through HoldPoint for digital sign-offs, photos, and branded PDFs, and have your QA manager or superintendent approve the final version before it goes to site.

Background

What is a Demolition ITP?

A demolition ITP is a structured quality assurance document that defines every inspection and test required during demolition works, who checks what, when work must stop for sign-off, and what evidence is recorded.

Most demolition ITPs are built around the moments where work becomes hard or expensive to undo. For this scope that usually means hazmat clearance before demolition, structural sequence approval and final site clearance sign-off, each one a hold point that pauses the job until it's signed off. Witness points like services isolation, dust and vibration monitoring, and waste tracking tell the superintendent or client when to attend, without holding up the crew if they can't make it.

Reference standards matter here: AS 2601: Demolition, WHS demolition code and EPA waste requirements are the documents a superintendent or certifier will expect to see cited. A demolition ITP that names the requirement behind each check is much harder to argue with months later.

Audit-grade evidence

GPS & weather captured at every demolition sign-off.

Generating a demolition ITP gets you a checklist. Defending it years later in a defect claim is a different problem. HoldPoint records the inspector's GPS coordinates and the live weather (temperature, humidity, wind, and sky condition), at the moment they sign each hold point. The data prints on the final PDF under the signature.

Temperature on record

Pour temp, ambient, and curing window, automatically logged.

Humidity & wind

Critical for paint, coating, and curing claims under AS standards.

Lat / lng + map link

Proof the inspector was actually on site, not signing from the office.

Available on every paid HoldPoint plan. The free generator gives you the ITP: HoldPoint gives you the defensible record.
