For onsite Subcontractors and Construction Project Managers, Inspection Test Plans (ITPs) & Inspection Test Reports (ITRs) are vital for maintaining a clear, effective record of work on a project. As a subcontractor, they help you maintain quality control for your company’s hard work, outlining what, when, and how to conduct inspections, ensuring that every component of your project meets the necessary requirements.
Matrak’s Custom Reports page enables you to create, configure and share your ITP's with everyone on your project- in the same place you track materials and view site progress.
How does it work?
In Matrak, you can create quality checks against any materials they’d like using customisable statuses. These quality checks follow the material’s journey onsite so that when a material is being installed, you can update the status of the installation and the quality checks associated with that job. The quality checks are automatically saved in an ITP report in Matrak that can be exported and shared with your stakeholders. This report provides your business visibility and transparency, helping to protect you and get paid.
Step-by-step instructions on how to create an ITP report:
Sign in to your account and access the appropriate project.
Navigate to the Custom Reports page.
Create a new report by clicking the '+' button located in the top right-hand corner.
From the drop-down menu, choose the 'All Records Report' option.
Customise the report name by clicking the downward arrow next to the current name.
Click the Filter button and select the inspection records and results you want to include in the report.
Download the report by clicking the arrow [⬇] located at the top of the report.
Share the report by clicking the 'Share Report' button at the top of the report and selecting the contacts you want to send it to.
What are the benefits of Automated ITPs?
Increased efficiency and accuracy of your documentation and communications. Any changes that are made to digital ITPs in Matrak sync right away, ensuring the correct stakeholder can view the most up-to-date quality check at any given time.
Never again have to keep track of a piece of paper, spending hours walking around site- do your most essential admin on your smartphone or tablet in real-time. This saves time, money and can decrease liability for your company.
Set the standard for a higher quality of work. Projects are regularly checked against quality management standards for clients, and good work practices will become ingrained within the team, such as providing more information about a task quality check with supporting photos and a digital time stamp.
Create, store and repurpose a library of digital report templates that you can deploy to your teams at any time across different projects.
Why use Matrak for your ITPs?
Matrak helps you streamline your ITP creation in the same place where you can track materials and view and update site progress. By toggling a switch or ticking a box, you can instantly mark an item as a pass or fail. Matrak’s built-in audit history also shows you who completed the inspection, allowing for greater accountability every step of the way. So instead of using multiple different applications to keep track of defects, trade progress, materials delivery, why not go with the one application that can do it all and won’t charge extra for it?
