Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Cement–Sand Floor Screed Works
AI-assisted inspection and test plan connected to a method statement, with PDF and Excel export.
More than a static template
Unlike a downloadable Word or PDF template, this ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point directly connected to its method statement. Every inspection activity, hold point, and acceptance criterion is structured and ready to adapt to your project.
- AI-assisted customization — Tailor inspection activities and acceptance criteria to your specific project scope.
- Linked method statement — This ITP is connected to the corresponding method statement describing the work sequence.
- Multiple export formats — Download as a formatted PDF or editable Excel spreadsheet.
- Editable starting point, not a final document — Review and verify all content against your project specifications and standards before use.
What you can customize
When you save this ITP to your account, every inspection row becomes editable. You can add, remove, or modify:
- Inspection activity — Description of what is being inspected.
- Inspection type — Hold point (H), Witness point (W), Review (R), or Monitor (M).
- Responsibility — Contractor, subcontractor, engineer, or client.
- Frequency — How often the inspection occurs.
- Acceptance criteria — Referenced standard or specification requirement.
- Records — Forms, test reports, or checklists required as evidence.
Why this ITP is used
To verify that screed works meet specified tolerances and material properties prior to acceptance and floor finish installation.
Who uses this inspection and test plan
Contractor QA/QC, Site Engineer, Consultant/Engineer, and Third-Party Laboratories.
When this ITP is prepared and submitted
From substrate preparation through mixing/placement, curing, and final moisture testing before flooring installation.
Who receives or approves this ITP
Engineer/Consultant for review and approval.
Inspection scope
Covers substrate readiness, membranes/edge strips, bonding, mixing control, thickness, SR/level, strength, adhesion, curing, and moisture condition.
Typical hold, witness, and review points
HP1 pre-start; HP2 membranes/insulation; HP3 bonding coat; HP4 moisture testing; HP5 final handover. Witness points at mixing start-up and sampling.
Typical inspection records
Inspection requests, batch and placement logs, SR/thickness checks, strength and adhesion test reports, moisture test reports, curing logs, as-built surveys, NCR/CAR closures.
Important approval note
This ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point, not a pre-approved document. Before use on any project, all inspection activities, hold points, and acceptance criteria must be reviewed and approved by the relevant parties (superintendent, principal contractor, or client representative) in accordance with your contract and project quality plan.
Always verify acceptance criteria against your applicable drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements. Hold points must be confirmed with the relevant authority before work proceeds past that point.
Inspection and test plan
| Activity | Inspection / Test | Acceptance Criteria | Responsibility | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-start substrate and FFL verification (HP1) | Visual, drawings review, level survey | Area released; FFL confirmed; services clear | SE/QA/Engineer | IR HP1, level log |
| Surface preparation quality | Cleanliness check; pull-off spot test (bonded) | Clean, sound, CSP 3–5; pull-off ≥1.0 N/mm² (bonded) [Verify] | QA/Engineer | Prep log, photos, test report |
| Membranes/insulation/edge strip installation (HP2) | Visual; lap/tape check; level | Continuous membrane; 150 mm laps; no punctures; insulation level; perimeter strip continuous | SE/Engineer | IR HP2 |
| Bonding coat application (HP3) – bonded screed | Wet-on-wet observation; coverage check | Uniform coverage; screed placed while coat wet/tacky | SE/QA/Engineer | IR HP3 |
| Mixing and placement controls (WP) | Batch logs; consistency checks; time to placement | Mix per approved design; placement ≤60 min from water addition [Verify] | QA/Foreman | Batch/placement logs |
| Thickness checks | Depth probe at 1/20 m² | Not less than design minimum | QA/Site Engineer | Thickness log |
| Surface regularity and levelness | 2 m straightedge; laser level survey | SR1/SR2/SR3 as specified; level ±5 mm/10 m [Verify] | QA/Engineer | SR sheets; level survey |

| Bond adhesion test – bonded screed | Pull-off test EN 13892-8 | ≥1.0 N/mm² (typical) [Verify] | QA/Lab | Adhesion report |
| Curing verification | Visual; curing duration log | Protected for ≥7 days or per TDS [Verify] | QA/Foreman | Curing log |
| Moisture testing before floor finishes (HP4) | In-situ RH (BS 8203/ASTM F2170) or MVER (ASTM F1869) | Within floor finish system limits (e.g., RH ≤75%) [Verify] | QA/Engineer | Moisture test report |
| Final inspection and handover (HP5) | Visual; documentation review | All criteria met; records complete; area protected | QA/Engineer/Client | Final IR/acceptance |
