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 shopfitting 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, shopfitting work is typically assessed against Retail brand standards and Landlord fit-out guides, and the ITP is how you show each requirement was actually verified.

What hold points should a Shopfitting ITP include?

At minimum: landlord approval, services test and retailer practical completion. 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 shopfitting inspections?

The references most shopfitting ITPs cite are Retail brand standards and Landlord fit-out guides. 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 shopfitting ITP on a real project?

Yes, as a starting point. Generate the shopfitting ITP for your scope, then review it against your contract and specification, especially the hold points, like landlord approval. 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 Shopfitting ITP?

A shopfitting ITP captures the inspection checkpoints for fit-out, maintenance, or facilities work, especially where multiple trades, tenants, or principals require documented QA before access or handover.

On a shopfitting job the plan turns on a handful of mandatory stops: landlord approval, services test and retailer practical completion. Each of those is a hold point: work doesn't move past it until the nominated party has inspected and signed. Witness points like display install, lighting and signage, and floor protection tell the superintendent or client when to attend, without holding up the crew if they can't make it.

An Australian shopfitting ITP is normally written against Retail brand standards and Landlord fit-out guides. Naming the standard you're inspecting to, rather than a generic "inspect and approve" line, is what makes the record hold up in an audit, a defect claim, or a payment dispute.

Audit-grade evidence

GPS & weather captured at every shopfitting sign-off.

Generating a shopfitting 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.
