QA Inspection — Substructure
Inspection & Test Plan log for substructure works — foundations, ground beams, drainage to FFL.
Used by site managers and quality engineers to record hold points, witness points, concrete cube test results, NCRs and the photographic record that protects you at final account. Pre-populated with all 17 substructure checks (setting out, bearing strata, rebar schedule, DPM, concrete mix, slump, cube samples, curing, drainage falls, pressure test, as-built tolerance to BS 5606), plus the legal-design-liability note that keeps the inspecting engineer's position clear.

What is a QA inspection sheet for?
To record that work was checked against the specification before it is covered up or handed over, with a pass or fail against each item and photos where it failed. It is the evidence a client's quantity surveyor or clerk of works asks for, and the thing that settles arguments at final account.
Can I put my own company name and logo on it?
Yes, it is yours to edit. If you would rather not fill it in by hand, SiteLynx builds the same document in about ten minutes with your branding, your crew sign it on their phones, and every plan is 14 days free.
