About this ITP: Structured ITP defining hold/witness points for slab-on-grade works: subgrade, vapor barrier, concrete tests, finishing, curing, joints, FF/FL, and strength.

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 slab-on-grade works meet contractual, safety, and technical requirements at defined checkpoints.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QA/QC engineers, site engineers, client representatives, and testing laboratories.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

From pre-pour checks through curing, FF/FL testing, and handover.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Client/Engineer for review and approval prior to works.

Inspection scope

All stages including prerequisites, fresh concrete testing, finishing, curing, jointing, and performance measurements.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

Hold: pre-pour authorization. Witness: vapor barrier, concrete tests, saw-cuts, curing, FF/FL tests.

Typical inspection records

Checklists, calibration certificates, batch tickets, test results, FF/FL reports, curing and saw-cut logs, as-built surveys.

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.
