As a general rule, the following steps are necessary in developing project specific ITPs, checklists and ITRs:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Understand the contract documents, including the requirements of the building certifier/ consultants and prepare a list of any discrepancies, ambiguities, missing information, and standards of materials and/ or workmanship that are considered incomplete / inappropriate. |
| 2 | Resolve any issues from Step 1 with the client / building certifier / consultants. |
| 3 | Confirm the necessary Inspections, Test, Witness and Hold Points required by the client / certifier / consultants and the notification process to the appropriate person(s). |
| 4 | Consider additional activities requiring an Inspection and Test Plan, i.e., other aspects not already identified in Step 3. including but not limited to; project specific quality risks, HSE requirements, lessons learned, manufacturers installation and warranty requirements, and where appropriate include in relevant ITP steps. |
| 5 | Prepare each Quality Control activity to reflect the requirements as identified in above steps. Itemise the specific checklists which will be developed and implemented in the project specific Quality Management Plan. |
| 6 | Decide how best to divide the whole of the project into work areas for control purposes and indicate these locations either on a schedule (with reference to grids and levels) or by marking up drawings, for reference on individual inspection records. |
| 7 | Undertake a Quality Planning session with respective trades to agree activities and inform those directly involved with each of the checklists in their use. |
| 8 | Carry out inspections and tests in accordance with the ITP, providing suitable notice to those required for Hold or Witness Points, and collate the results and records in appropriate ITR. |
