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?

Plans start at $59 AUD a month and are set by team size and live jobs: Starter covers up to 3 team members who can edit and 2 live jobs, Team is $149 a month for up to 10 and 6 live jobs, and Business is $249 a month for up to 20 and 15 live jobs. Enterprise for head contractors is quoted from $499 a month. Archiving a finished job frees its slot and keeps its signed PDFs free to download, viewers are free, and builders, clients and certifiers sign without an account.

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 QA generate ITP PDFs automatically?

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