This construction hold point (HP) template is free to use and makes hold point completion, notification and closure simple and efficient.

Issuing a hold point puts a hold on the specified construction activity or activities until an inspection is passed. Hold points are an effective mechanism for controlling work and progress so that quality can be assured now.

Properly preparing hold points and notifying the neccesary parties is critical to project success. Without hold points, mistakes can get out of hand, delayed, and end up costing projects and companies a lot more time & money than they should.

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
