What is an Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) in construction quality management?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
An Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is a document that outlines the quality control processes for construction projects. It specifies the inspections and tests needed at different stages of work to make sure it meets contract and regulatory standards.
Key points
- Defines quality control procedures
- Lists inspections and tests required
- Tracks compliance with standards
An ITP helps manage quality by detailing what needs to be checked, when, and by whom. You'll refer to it during site inspections and when coordinating with subcontractors to keep everything on track.
