Inspection records that keep up with the works

Insite captures ITP hold points, pour approvals, testing and environmental checks at the chainage they happen, so the client, the designer and the auditor all read the same record.

The reality

The works move. The paperwork does not.

On a linear job the record is spread across cabins, cars and clipboards, and by the time the ITP is reconciled the section is buried. The main contractor wants it weekly; the client wants it auditable.

Records are not tied to a location

A photograph without a chainage or a structure reference is difficult to use six months later.

Hold points wait on a signature

A pour sits idle because the approval is on paper in a vehicle three miles up the alignment.

ITPs reconciled after the fact

The inspection and test plan is caught up with at the end of the section rather than driven from the front.

Environmental evidence is thin

Consent conditions and daily checks are recorded in a book nobody can produce on request.

ITP and hold points

Hold points released from the work face

Your inspection and test plan on the phone, with the hold point released at the pour rather than back at the cabin.

Your ITP, not a generic checklist

Released with photographs attached

Witness and approval recorded on the spot

Concrete and testing

Pour records and test results in one place

Delivery tickets, slump, cube references and results held against the pour, so a query about strength is answered from a record rather than a filing cabinet.

Reporting

One report for the client, built from site

Daily records, plant, labour and delays captured as the shift runs, so the client report and the main contractor’s weekly return come from the same data.

Diaries completed on the phone

Plant and labour recorded daily

Client report generated, not retyped

Environment and permits

Consent conditions evidenced daily

Environmental checks, permits to dig and traffic management inspections logged with photographs, names and times, ready for the auditor or the utility authority.

Daily environmental checks recorded

Permits to dig signed at the excavation

Traffic management inspected and evidenced

Handover

The as-built record, handed to the client complete

Every hold point, test result and photograph already filed against the structure and the chainage, so the client takes an asset with a history.

“Before Insite, we were a fully paper admin style company… trying to hold that data in one place, which was very, very difficult.”

Frequently asked questions

What is construction software for civil engineering contractors?
It is one system for the records an infrastructure job has to produce: ITP hold points, pour and test records, setting out and survey evidence, environmental and permit checks, diaries and the as-built information. Insite captures each of those on a phone at the chainage they happen and holds them against the structure or section.
Can we use our own ITPs?
Yes. Your inspection and test plan is digitised once and issued to the works, so hold points are released against your own criteria rather than a generic checklist. Updating the ITP pushes the change to every section immediately.
How are records tied to a location on a linear job?
Every inspection, photograph and level is recorded against a chainage and a structure or asset reference, so a record from month three is still usable in month twenty. Section progress and inspection coverage are then read straight off the alignment rather than reconciled from separate trackers.
Does it handle concrete pour records and test results?
Yes. Delivery tickets are photographed at the truck, cube references are logged against the pour, and results are attached when they come back from the lab. A query about strength is answered from the pour record rather than a filing cabinet.
Can we evidence environmental and consent conditions?
Yes. Daily environmental checks, permits to dig and traffic management inspections are logged with photographs, names and times. The register is ready to produce for the auditor, the client or the utility authority without assembling it first.
Does it work with no signal?
Yes. Everything is captured offline, including photographs and signatures, and syncs as soon as the device is back in range. Cuttings, tunnels and rural alignments are the normal case, not the exception.
Can the client and the designer see the record?
Yes. Setting out checks, hold points and photographs are visible to the parties you give access to the moment they are submitted, so the designer answers from evidence and the client sees the same record you do rather than a weekly summary of it.
How long does implementation take?
Days rather than months. Your ITPs and environmental checks are configured for you, the app runs on iOS, Android and web, and most contractors start on one section or structure before rolling out across the scheme.
