Article summary

An Inspection and Test Plan is often part of or used in conjunction with the Quality Management Plan (QMP) and can be used to provide assurance to clients and end users that appropriate quality control activities will be undertaken, and the building will be fit for purpose and conforms with all requirements.
Generic ITPs may not cover the project specific requirements; therefore, ITPs need to be developed specific to each individual project.
It is important for project teams to review all project documents including specifications and relevant standards and construction codes to ensure appropriate ITPs are developed.

The required standard is typically defined in the contract specification and in the relevant building standards. Instead of searching every time work is undertaken to determine conformity, an Inspection and Test Plan is developed that clearly communicates what will be tested, how and when for each type of activity.
