Use this record for
Pre-placement checks for ordinary cast-in-place concrete slabs, pad footings and strip footings: document readiness, set-out and founding, formwork, reinforcement, cast-in items and joints, cleanliness/access, and recording the project release decision.
Outside this record: Does not cover concrete delivery or testing, placement, compaction, finishing, curing, post-pour inspection, precast, prestressing, shotcrete, piles, specialist repair, or project-specific design/engineering approval. Add separate records where those scopes apply.
Blank generic record for project adaptation. Complete each acceptance requirement and reference from current approved project documents before use. No standard engineering values, inspection results, release, certification or approval are supplied. A checklist entry is not a contractual Hold or Witness Point unless the project assigns it.
Checks and the records they need
Fill project criteria from approved documents before inspection. The fields below show what the downloaded form asks you to record; the web page does not save or approve site results.

- Compare with approved structural/coordination details; measure and record critical set-out or projection required by the project.
- What defines acceptance
- Applicable items and joint preparation match cited project details, are secured, and remain clear for concrete placement.
- Project document to cite
- Approved structural and coordination drawings, embed schedules, services drawings and joint details.
- Observed condition / measurement
- Evidence reference

PP-08 · Pre-pour area readiness and release
Confirm preceding checks are complete, debris and standing water are addressed as required by project documents, access is ready, open issues are dispositioned, and the required project release decision is recorded.
- How to check
- Walk the pour area with the applicable checklist and closeout records; record the actual release status, responsible role and any required client notice/release reference.
- What defines acceptance
- Record the actual decision and any outstanding conditions. Proceed only when the project-assigned release conditions and contractual notice/hold requirements are satisfied.
- Project document to cite
- Project ITP, contract notice/release requirements, approved method and closed issue records.
- Observed condition / measurement
- Evidence reference
- Result, inspector and date; issue and recheck reference
Source notes and limits
- Cavoren ITP concrete baseline, rows CON-01 to CON-08
Source topics and original inspection sequence; the baseline is proposed and does not provide project-specific criteria.
- Queensland TMR MRTS70 Concrete (July 2022)
Topic evidence only for an in-situ concrete process; Queensland transport specification, not a universal building requirement or default project acceptance source.
- Hutchinson Builders construction ITP and reports suite
Public example used to corroborate broad concrete placement sequence and record concepts; not redistributed and not authority for universal criteria.
