How do I create an Inspection and Test Plan (ITP)?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Start with project specs and standards. List the items needing inspection and testing. Define methods, frequencies, and acceptance criteria. Assign responsible parties. Review with the team and get approvals before kicking off. Adjust as needed throughout the project.
Key points
- Use project specs and standards as a guide.
- Detail inspection methods and acceptance criteria.
- Assign responsibilities clearly.
- Get team buy-in before starting.
An ITP outlines how you'll check quality on site. It's your roadmap for inspections and tests, ensuring everything meets the required standards. Keep it updated based on site conditions and feedback from the team.
