Records

Maintaining appropriate records assist in a number of ways, first it allows us to provide assurance to the relevant stakeholders that appropriate quality control activities have taken place, that the requirements have been met, and that the building is fit for purpose. It will also facilitate a lessons learnt culture through reviewing the results of inspection and testing activities.
Records can be maintained in a number of formats, including documents, photos, files, and the like, or you may get the added benefits of using a quality specific digital tool (Procore / Aconex or similar) to manage the required inspection and test and the subsequent records.
Whichever method is used it is important to note that the type, frequency, and acceptance criteria are set during the planning and documenting phase of ITP development. Consideration will also be required to the retention period and access to records may be required for the warranty period of up to 10 years and beyond.
