Work Plans by Constructable
Construction quality control software with hold points that actually hold
Our construction quality control software turns pre-pour, mockup, pre-install, critical lift, and commissioning checks into QA/QC checklists your field team signs. A hold point keeps later items locked until the inspector signs, and the owner gets a signed PDF. Work Plans comes with the Field and Project Management plan and above, and we do flat pricing with unlimited users.
Build the plan
Write down what done means, and who signs for it
A work plan is a numbered outline of sections and items, like 1.1, 1.2, and 2.1. Each item has its acceptance criteria, a due date, and the people who sign it off.
• Starting a pre-pour: pick a type such as Quality: Pre-pour, Quality: Mockup, Safety: Critical lift, or Commissioning, and the plan carries that type's custom fields
• Naming the signers: add your superintendent, the concrete sub's foreman, and the engineer of record to the items they verify
• Saying how they verify it: label each sign-off Hold Point, Witness Point, Test, Measurement, or Surveillance, and the label prints on the PDF
• Before you publish: a checklist confirms every section has items, every item has a title, and every item has someone to sign it
Hold points
Stop the pour until the special inspector signs
Set Blocks on the item, pick the person who releases it, and nobody can sign off the items behind it until that person signs. The outline shows the line, and the signer's row carries a Blocking badge.
• Pre-pour special inspection: block the rest of the plan until the inspector signs the reinforcing item
• Mockup approval: block the rest of the section until the architect accepts the mockup
• When the inspector signs: the later items unlock, and their signers get a notification that it's their turn
In the field
Sign off from the deck, not the trailer
Open the plan on your phone, check the item against its criteria, type your name, and tick the confirmation. Constructable saves the name, the time, and the statement, and nobody can edit the signature afterward.
• What's waiting on you: plans that need your signature show under My ball in court, in My Ball-in-Courts on the project Dashboard, and on the Global Dashboard
• Subs, consultants, and owner reps: anyone on the project team can sign their own rows
• A paper form signed on site: Record signature saves it as the inspector's signature and records who captured it
• Photos as you go: take them with the camera in the app and attach them to the item
Proof of work
Keep the proof on the item it proves
Each item collects proof-of-work notes, photos, and files. Requested records asks for the records you need and shows which ones are provided before anyone signs.
• The special inspection report: link the inspection to the item it covers. See our construction inspection software
• Approved shop drawings: request a submittal and link it from the item
• Open deficiencies: ask for an item from a punch or observation list
• A checklist, not a gate: people can still sign while a request reads Not provided, so check the panel before you sign
Signed PDF
Hand the owner a signed record
Download the plan as a PDF for the owner, the inspector of record, or the closeout binder.
• What's in it: the overview, every item with its criteria and proof of work, each signature with its time and verification method, the requested records, and the activity log
• Linked records: requested inspections, submittals, and list items appear as links, and item photos come on pages at the end
• A progress snapshot: download it at any stage, and unsigned rows read Not signed
• Turnover: tick Work Plans in the project's closeout package, and each published plan goes in as its own PDF
Templates and types
Start every pre-pour from your company standard
Build company and project templates with sections, items, sign-offs, and record requests, then start a new draft work plan from a template instead of building it item by item.
• Your QA/QC program, every job: the elevated deck pre-pour starts with the same items and signers on every project
• Details by type: give each plan type its own custom fields, such as a pour's mix design or a lift's crane and load
• New projects: a new project created from a template project copies its work plan types, custom fields, and verification methods
Authorize, accept, close
Approve the plan before work starts, accept it when it's done
Every plan moves from Draft to Awaiting authorization, In progress, Awaiting acceptance, and Closed.
• Authorization: the project manager and the engineer of record sign the plan as written before any item opens
• Acceptance: when the last item closes, the plan goes to the owner's rep and the quality manager to accept
• Close: once everyone accepts, select Close plan and the record is final
