Hold Point Inspection Template and Construction Hold Point Test Plan

If you still find yourself wondering what is a hold point in construction, then you can use this template to easily guide you through understanding the mechanics of it.

Hold Point inspections are a critical part of overall inspection processes in construction. Hold points are created for a number of reasons including:

• Critical inspections when the cost of rework would be high e.g. a hold point before a concrete pour permits verification of reinforcing before it is covered with concrete; which is far cheaper than investigating after it's covered in concrete.
• To mark construction milestones, assuring that a phase of construction is 100% complete before moving on to the next.

This complete hold point template comes pre-built with all the fields you need to accurately describe a HP and notify the right internal and external parties quickly so that inspections can be made and projects can move forward:

• Automated form ID #
• Lot # and specification reference
• Date of requested inspection
• Description of witness point
• Task or process witnessed and photos of work
• Drawing numbers and digital contractor signoff
• Client review and decision (released or hold)
• Client comments and digital signoff when HP is released

If you are still running your hold point inspections with paper forms and email correspondence, you could dramatically streamline your processes by going digital with the process, or use this hold point inspection template as an example for your existing manual process.
