Checklists that cannot be skipped.

Run inspections from reusable checklist templates with hold and witness points built in — an inspection with an open hold point cannot sign itself off, and every result is evidenced, approved and traceable.

Inspection with checklist
Templates & checkpoints

Standardise once, run everywhere.

Build the checklist once as a template, then run it on any project — so the same discipline applies whoever is on site.

📋

Checklist templates

Reusable templates per work type, versioned and controlled.

✋

Hold points

A hold point blocks sign-off until it is cleared — enforced, not advisory.

👀

Witness points

Flag the checks a client or consultant must attend, and record who witnessed them.

How an inspection runs

Request, inspect, sign off.

Every inspection follows the same controlled path — and stays Submitted if its hold or witness points are still open.

RequestAn inspection is requested against the activity, with the checklist template for that work type already attached to it.
→
InspectEach checklist item is answered on site, with its measurement, photograph or reading captured against the item it belongs to.
→
Clear the pointsHold points must be formally cleared and witness points must record attendance before the record can move any further.
→
Approve & sign offThe result is approved under the gate for its type, stamped, and locked into the audit trail as a signed decision.
In the product

Evidence, attached at the point of work.

Photos, measurements and sign-offs captured against the checklist item they belong to.

Inspection evidence
Why it holds up

Defensible on the day it is questioned.

Because every inspection is templated, gated and evidenced, the record you produce months later is the record that was made at the time.

🔒

Cannot self-approve

Open hold or witness points keep the inspection Submitted.

📷

Evidence in context

Attachments live on the checklist line, not in a shared drive.

📈

Feeds vendor rating

Pass-rates roll into the subcontractor’s quality score.

Inspect it properly, once.

Templated, gated and evidenced — every time.
