What this plan covers
Ordinary building ductwork installation from approved layout through supports, duct assembly, insulation, terminal devices and handover of project-required inspection/test evidence. Excludes refrigeration circuits, refrigerant handling, equipment electrical work, system design, airflow balancing, test execution, commissioning, controls integration and building performance certification.
This free editable file is a scoped starting baseline, with proposed checks and matching blank record forms. It is not adopted project criteria. A separate paid project-specific ITP and matching blank records are available for this HVAC ductwork package; customer-controlled documents may define work beyond this baseline. Confirm the actual scope, products, criteria, inspection roles and interfaces from approved project sources. Results and signatures remain blank until work is performed.
Project-specific ITP drafting for this package
The package plan can sequence duct and support receipt, coordinated routing, joints, insulation, fire / smoke interface evidence, terminals and closeout by system and ceiling zone. Air balancing and commissioning execution remain assigned interfaces; leakage criteria are included only when the project specifies them.
Useful files to provide
- Coordinated duct layouts, sections, schedules and current ceiling / riser revisions
- Approved duct, insulation, fire / smoke damper and terminal product submittals
- Support / access details and interfaces with structure, fire systems and other services
- Project inspection, leakage test (if specified) and balancing / commissioning handover boundaries
Example of an input still needed
For example: “The duct layout is uploaded, but the damper schedule and access-panel coordination are missing. Please provide the approved schedule and identify the ceiling-close inspection point.”
A project-specific hvac ductwork installation ITP service prepares the plan and matching blank site records for this package. The listed inputs help scope the work; if an item is unavailable, it can be recorded as an open project decision rather than guessed.
How the plan and blank records fit together
The Excel, Word and PDF downloads each contain the plan and corresponding blank record forms. For this package, entries such as System / zone ID, Support detail locator, Concealment photo / check ref. provide examples of location, source / product and observation or traceability fields. They are fields in the downloadable package files, not separate online records; the browser editor edits the plan only.
